[vtkusers] read dicom series files

[Gururajan]

Hi,

Thanks for your link, but this is in Python, write, actually i need it
in JAVA, and i almost done with environment setup .
the below code i used to read dicom series and write in .vtk format. the
problem is .vtk file which i written is not opened by vtk.

 vtkDICOMImageReader dicomreader = new vtkDICOMImageReader();
    dicomreader.SetDirectoryName("/home/gururaj/MANIX/MANIX/CER-CT/ANGIO
CT");
    dicomreader.Update();
    System.out.println("File Dimension " + 
dicomreader.GetFileDimensionality());
   
    vtkImageWriter writer = new  vtkImageWriter();//vtkImageWriter::New()
    writer.SetInput(dicomreader.GetOutput());
    //writer.AddInput(dicomreader.GetOutput());
    writer.SetFileName("/home/gururaj/eclipse
Project/SimpleVTK/SimpleVtk/CardiacCT/Ronald.vtk");
    writer.SetFileDimensionality(3);
   
    writer.Update();
    writer.Write();

Thanks
Guru
