[vtkusers] Get information of DICOM Series before really loading the images into memory

[David Gobbi]

Hi Liu Peng,

My vtk-dicom package has a VTK dicom reader that can read all of the meta
data.
It also has a class called vtkDICOMParser that only reads the meta data
(not the
image), and a class called vtkDICOMDirectory that will scan the filesystem
for
DICOM files and provide a summary of all of the DICOM series on the
filesystem.

The instructions for building vtk-dicom are in the PDF at the bottom of
this page:
https://github.com/dgobbi/vtk-dicom

If you are using VTK 7 and if you built VTK yourself, then you can add all
of these
classes to VTK by simply setting "Module_vtkDICOM:BOOL=ON" in your VTK
cmake cache and then rebuilding VTK.
