[vtkusers] loading a vtkImageData correctly

[Mark Wyszomierski]

Ah I just found a quick example of using vtkDICOMImageReader to read a
series of images to create a volume - this method would be much more
preferable than writing my own code to do it (leave it to the
experts).

I'll give it a try now, thanks again.
