[vtkusers] vtkDICOMImageReader broken in vtk 5.0 and up?

[Sven Prevrhal]

Hi Mathieu,

I started on this problem again, pulled and installed the nightlies on 3/22.
vtkDICOMImageReader does read and update on my file now but stuffing it into
vtkImageViewer2 causes a crash! To be sure it has to do with the reader I
converted the file to jpeg using the Office dcmtk dcmj2pnm executable. The
JPEG version of the file displays fine (Window/Leveling is _very_ slow
though, although both CPU and graphics card should be sufficiently fast
Pentium 4 3.0 GHz, ATI FireGL). I have attached the code (modified
vtkImageViewer2 test). The file that causes a crash in my configuration is
on
ftp://ftp.mrsc.ucsf.edu/pub/sven/SC.1.3.6.1.4.1.9590.100.1.1.581587240110609
28131648073180919160033  

It's rather large so I am thinking that Ben may be correct and there's a bug
in the vtk code.

The JPEG version (only 8bit!) is ftp://ftp.mrsc.ucsf.edu/pub/sven/x.jpg

Great! From where do I pull the cvs sources? 
:pserver:anonymous at public.kitware.com:/cvsroot/VTK or, as your text
suggests, somehow form ParaView?

Sven,

	I believe the seg fault you saw is fixed in current VTK CVS.

	Please give it a try if you can. Thanks for the data to reproduce
the problem.


$ cvs ci -m"BUG: DICOM spec do not enforce value to be present for Slice 
Number" 
/cvsroot/ParaView/ParaView/VTK/Utilities/DICOMParser/DICOMAppHelper.cxx,v 
  <--  DICOMAppHelper.cxx
new revision: 1.23; previous revision: 1.22
/cvsroot/ParaView/ParaView/VTK/Utilities/DICOMParser/DICOMParser.cxx,v 
<--  DICOMParser.cxx
new revision: 1.15; previous revision: 1.14

HTH
Mathieu
Ps: You may want to contact your DICOM vendor as the DICOM has a very 
bizarre 0008,0008 Image Type value: "Vidar" ??? Whereas it should be 
something like:

DERIVED/SECONDARY
