[vtkusers] vtkNIFTIImageReader.h: No such file or directory

[David Gobbi]

Hi Francisco,

The vtkNIFTIImageReader did not appear until VTK 6.2.
There are two options that I can recommend:

1) Use the VTK git master, which has the most recent update to the NIFTI
reader (the vtkNIFTIImageReader in VTK 6.2 gives the wrong sform offset in
some situations, this is fixed in git master).

2) If you want to keep the VTK you have, then you can get the NIFTI reader
separately by building the vtk-dicom package:
https://github.com/dgobbi/vtk-dicom (the class is called "vtkNIFTIReader"
in vtk-dicom, but is otherwise identical to the one in the VTK git master
branch).

Cheers,
 - David
