I've managed to compile GDCM with VTK and I have a particular application I would like to use, which is the "gdcm2vtk.exe".

Now, how's the syntax for converting a stack of imags into a ".vti" file? so far I have this:

gdcm2vtk Input_Directory file.vti

Now, when I run somthing like this: gdcm2vtk "C:/dicom/dicom directory" output.vti I get an error: could not find no reader to handle file: "C:/dicom/dicom directory"

Is there anything I'm missing there?

gdcm2vtk does not handle a directory as input as specified in the documentation.

You may want to convert your DICOM Series into a single DICOM Instance using gdcmimg

As of GDCM 2.6 gdcm2vtk is now able to take as input a directory. Pay attention to sort the file according to the well known Image Orientation (Patient) & Image Position (Patient) strategy instead of relying on the filenames ordering to reconstruct your VTK (*.vti) file:

$ gdcm2vtk --ipp-sort input_dir output.vti

  • Thanks for this info. Now, if I convert my Series into a single DICOM Instance, will I be able to render it as 3D? – Matimont Dec 30 '13 at 13:00
