12 The gdcmviewer is a simple tool that show how to use
13 vtkGDCMImageReader. The class that use gdcm to make a layer to VTK.
14 gdcmviewer is basically only just a wrapper around VTK/GDCM.
15
16 This tool is meant for testing integration of GDCM in VTK. You should
17 see it as a demo tool. It does compile with VTK ranging from 4.2 to
18 5.10, but only with VTK 5.2 (or above) can play with the widgets (as
19 described below).

51 For now gdcmviewer should be started from a command line prompt. The
52 next argument should be the name of the DICOM file you wish to read.
53 For instance:
54
55 $ gdcmviewer -V 012345.002.050.dcm
56
57 gdcmviewer will try to read your file, and then print the vtk
58 information associated with this file. Basically what kind of image you
59 are looking at.
60
61 • ScalarType is the DICOM Real World Value type
62
63 • Dimensions is the dimension of the image
64
65 • Spacing is the spacing of the image
66
67 • NumberOfScalarComponents should be 1 for grayscale & PALETTE COLOR
68 and 3 for RGB, YBR data.
