In some software our laboratory is using, we used the features of vtkGDCMImageReader and related VTK integrations for working with DICOMs. We found GDCM much more robust compared to the base vtkDICOMImageReader.
I would like to see gdcm distributed on conda with VTK integrations. I can do most of the work, being relatively familiar with conda. But, I wanted to start a dialogue as to how to what would be appropriate. I have outlined some options we could do below:
1) Build gdcm with VTK. However, everyone currently using gdcm will need to install vtk in their conda environment.
2) Create a gdcm-vtk distribution on conda. This would create another feedstock to manage but seperate those who need from those who do not need vtk.
