You have to call reader->Update (), otherwise nothing is actually read.
 
best,

	hello all, i need to read the information in DICOM images such
as modality, patient sex, etc..
	
	i have tried to use vtkMedicalImageReader2 and
vtkMedicalImageProperties, but still failed to get what i need..
	
	void main()
	{
	    vtkMedicalImageReader2
*reader=vtkMedicalImageReader2::New();
	    reader->SetFileName("image.dcm");
	
printf("%s",reader->GetMedicalImageProperties()->GetPatientSex());
	
printf("%s",reader->GetMedicalImageProperties()->GetPatientAge());
	
printf("%s",reader->GetMedicalImageProperties()->GetModality());
	}
	
	WHY all of the functions getpatientage, getpatientsex, etc. all
return NULL value..
	can someone help me with this? btw, i have tried to use
vtkDICOMImageReader too, but i can only get the patientname with that
class since vtkDICOMImageReader just have GetPatientName() function..
	And I guarantee that my sample DICOM images are not broken..
	
	
	Thanx in advance..
	
	Regards, John..
