convert stack of DICOM Images into vti file

Question

I've downloaded ActiViz.NET 5.8 to use it in my C# application, now the examples I downloaded show 3D by reading a vti file..

How can I create a vti file from a stack of images?

Thank you

Answer 1

Simply use gdcm2vtk from the command line:

$ gdcm2vtk DICOM_input_directory output.vti

See gdcm2vtk man page. Of course GDCM is wrapped in C# language so the command line can be used from any Activiz.NET + GDCM application.

On debian/linux, simply do:

$ sudo apt-get install libvtkgdcm-tools

On windows/macosx you'll need to compile GDCM+VTK.
