[vtkusers] vtkDICOMImageReader: skip reading some images ???

[wassim_belhadj at topnet.tn]

Hi
I'm using now vtkDICOMImageReader and i don't know how to use
vtkGDCMImageReader!!.
For now I use the following code:

			dicomReader = vtkDICOMImageReader::New();
			dicomReader->SetDirectoryName(dirname);
			dicomReader->Update();
Can you please tell me how to start?
Thank you
