Dicom Image Volume Rendering

See original GitHub issue

Hi，

We are trying to get volume rendering work with DICOM vti image written from vtk writer in Python. Following the structure, we are running into troubles trying to getindex.json file correctly generated. So few questions here and appreciate if someone can help!

How does index.json generated for vti data
Is using vtkHttpDataSetReader the correct choice of reading the data? Or it should be XMLReader
Is there a better way of reading Dicom images(a folder of .dcm files) instead of using vti file

Thanks!

Yes, as @jourdain mentioned, we can load the DICOM images directly via itk.js.

To load a multi-frame DICOM file (the entire volume is in one file), use itk/readImageFile. To load a DICOM file series, use itk/readImageDICOMFileSeries. Both of these are enabled in this reference application.

@engrussman good to hear 😃

A few applications with DICOM support using itk.js / vtk.js:
