[Vv] Converting Dicom structure to .mhd metaimage

[Rômulo Pinho]

Hello, Bilal,

You can do the conversion you wish with a tool that is part of the VV 
suite. Please rebuild VV with CLITK_BUILD_TOOLS=ON. In the bin (or your 
install) folder you will find clitkDicomStruct2Image. You basically 
provide the input dicom file, the output mhd file name and the index (as 
stored in the dicom header) of the structure you wish to save (index=-1 
saves each structure in a separate file, and the output file name is 
used as prefix). You can type clitkDicomStruct2Image -h for a more 
detailed help message.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you need further help.
Good luck!

Cheers,
Rômulo
