Hi,

To use itk.js from [unpkg.com](http://unpkg.com), see this example:

> **[itk-js/examples/UMD at master · InsightSoftwareConsortium/itk-js](https://github.com/InsightSoftwareConsortium/itk-js/tree/master/examples/UMD)**
>
> master/examples/UMD

To read a DICOM series, use [`readImageDICOMFileSeries`](https://insightsoftwareconsortium.github.io/itk-js/api/browser_io.html#readImageDICOMFileSeries-fileList-singleSortedSeries-false-gt-image-webWorkerPool). To read a multi-frame DICOM, use [`readImageFile`](https://insightsoftwareconsortium.github.io/itk-js/api/browser_io.html#readImageFile-webWorker-file-gt-webWorker-image).

Convert the resulting `itk/Image` to a `vtkImageData` with [`convertItkToVtkImage`](https://kitware.github.io/vtk-js/api/Common_DataModel_ITKHelper.html).
