If you have installed gdcm (vtkGDCMImageReader) there are a couple of
lower level functionality for passing the byte buffer from a
gdcm.ImageReader to Numpy.

I do not understand why you would do that: gdcm.ImageReader -> Numpy
-> vtkImageData instead of the direct vtkGDCMImageReader, since you
basically would have to duplicate the logic from vtkGDCMImageReader...
