I come back here because I am working blind (I cannot compile SimpleITK, this is drive me crazy, because I am running out of time). And until I solve that issue (working on that by days !!! unbelievable) I am trying to write code that import data from VTK into SimpleITK, and I wrote:

```auto
sitk::ImportImageFilter importer;
importer.SetSpacing(m_pDICOMReader->GetOutput()->GetSpacing());
importer.SetOrigin(m_pDICOMReader->GetOutput()->GetOrigin());
importer.SetSize(m_pDICOMReader->GetOutput()->GetScalarSize());
sitk::Image img = importer.Execute();

```

it is ok ? (m\_pDICOMReader is vtkDICOMReader). I really need this code functional.

Thank you for your time !
