[vtkusers] Can VTK retrieve window and level parameter of a DICOM file?

[Mathieu Malaterre]

Hi,

  If you decide to use GDCM to load your DICOM dataset. Then you can
access the Window Level information directly from the
vtkMedicalImageProperties class. Eg:

$ ./bin/gdcmvtkGDCMTests TestvtkGDCMImageReader gdcmData/012345.002.050.dcm
...
vtkMedicalImageProperties (0x28e3590)
...
  Exposure:   Direction Cosine: (1, 0, 0), (0, 0, -1)

    WindowLevel:
    Window:192
    Level:96
    Comment:
    UID(s):     Orientation(s):
    User Defined Values: (0)
