Hello all,

I would like to filter my dicom files using vtk model.  
Is that possible? If not is there any other workaround?

Thanks a lot,  
Helen

Do you mean _(…) using ITK_?

If you mean **ITK** , yes you can. ITK can filter N-dimensional images. You may find it useful to visit the ITK examples at:  
[https://itk.org/ITKExamples/src/Filtering/index.html](https://itk.org/ITKExamples/src/Filtering/index.html)

To read a DICOM series, the following example may be helpful:

Also, you may want to read the ITK Software Guide to learn more about the many image processing capabilities ITK offers:
