Load volumetric NIFTI data into VTK using ITK

nifti-vtk

This is a simple code I've gathered to load volumetric NIFTI data into VTK using ITK.

Notice that it should load a bunch of volume formats supported by ITK too.

It is a minimal adaptation of code from here, and here, but it's handy in case you're wondering how to get there ;)

Building

Just follow the instructions:

1. Build VTK and ITK from their git repositories.

    cd && mkdir VTK-ITK && cd VTK-ITK
   
    git clone git://vtk.org/VTK.git && git clone git://vtk.org/VTKData.git
    git clone git://itk.org/ITK.git && git clone git://itk.org/ITKData.git
   

2. Run respective CMAKE configuration. Remember to set ITK with Module_ITKVtkGlue = TRUE ❗

3. Run respective make && make install

4. After that, the following command should work :P

    cmake && make && ./nifti-vtk <Path_to_you_nifti_file>
   

5. Enjoy!
