[vtkusers] displaying dicom images with the right orientation

Hi Lic

I uses vtkTransform to transform the vtkImageData rather than
transforming the camera. Because I wanted to overlay the RT dose on
the image. It works very well. The only problem is the  the
coordinates too get transformed. I mean if you have +30, -50, it will
become -30,50.
