[vtkusers]ask how to read DICOM(again)

[m26404030 at john.petra.ac.id]

hi all, i want to extract some informations in DICOM image such as patient age,
patient sex, modality, etc..
i have tried to use vtkDICOMImageReader, but i cant get what i want since
vtkDICOMImageReader only have the GetPatientName() function? what must i do if
i want to get the patient age, sex, modality, etc?

can VTK do this or should i read the image file manually(read the header or
something)?maybe someone can give me information about dicom file format and
how to extract the informations above??



Plis help me..


thanx a lot..
