[vtkusers] how many DICOM files can i read with VTK on 32 bit machine

[Jérôme]

Hi,
The maximum size of a file that VTK could open is directly linked to your
memory capacities. If you think that you have sufficient memory to open your
3000 DICOM files, then I can tell something I experienced. I had 10 volumes
of a cardiac sequence, represented by, say, 1000 DICOM 2D files. When I used
vtkDICOMImageReader, I was able to open only the 100 first files. In fact,
it was normal since these files are from the 1st sequence. This information
is present in the DICOM header.

In my case, a work-around was to separate each sequence in different
sub-folder.

Hope that helps,
Jerome
