| You have to be careful--not all companies' DICOM

| vtkDICOMImageReader vd
|   vd SetDirectoryName "C:/Path/To/Your/DICOM/Files/"
|

Well this works however it is really slow (IMHO)
so i was wondering is there a way to set manually all the
slices (one reason would be to load images from the network without
making a folder for the images of each series. And also i may be able to
set slices even in vtk4.2 (wouldnt need DICOM Reader in that case)

Another question would be, is possible to combine multiple series in one
volume ?

Thx
