ReadDICOMSeries

Repository source: ReadDICOMSeries

Description

This example demonstrates how to read a series of DICOM images and how to scroll with the mousewheel or the up/down keys through all slices. Sample data are available as a zipped file (977 kB, 40 slices): DicomTestImages

The image is displaying the first slice from this sample data.
