If you're interested in getting from DICOM to VTK in the most painless
and user-friendly way, you could try the open source DeVIDE software.
See here for the help documentation on the built-in DICOMBrowser:
http://code.google.com/p/devide/wiki/HelpDICOMBrowser

In short:
1. DICOMBrowser to explore your data
2. DICOMReader to read the series you want
3a. slice3dVWR to slice through it
3b. vtiWRT to save the relevant volume as a VTK XML Image Data file.

DeVIDE is based on Python, wxPython, VTK, ITK and GDCM (and DCMTK, and
a bunch of other things).
