Converting multiple dicom to a single .vtk or .stl

[Shannen Lambdin]

Does anyone know the command for converting multiple dicom files to a single .vtk or .stl file in ITK-SNAP/convert3d tool?

Hi Shannen,

Probably you can use this tool to convert them to a single nifti file:
dcm2nii -o outFileName  dicomPath/dicomFileNames 

More information is available here:

Thanks,

Bao

After you get a nifti file, you can use c3d to convert it to vtk format:

c3d tmp.nii.gz -o tmp.vtk

You can also load DICOMs into ITK-SNAP and then save as VTK image.

Thank you for all of your replies! If possible though, I would like to solely use command line and itk-snap/convert3d (or stay in one framework). Is this possible through command line with ITK-SNAP?

Hi Shannen,

We don't currently have support for loading DICOM into Convert3D. It's a little tricky because you don't know ahead of time what images are in the DICOM directory. ITK-SNAP provides GUI for selecting 3D images from a DICOM directory, but there is no command-line interface to this.

dcm2nii is very reliable and a great tool
