because when you delete the reader, the imagedate(reader->GetOutput()) has a reference count 0 , so it is also recycled. <br>if you want to pertain the output of the reader, you can do either:<br>1. connect the output to the vtk pipeline<br>
or <br>2. vtkImageData * img = vtkImageData::New();<br> img->DeepCopy(reader->GetOutput());<br> reader->Delete();<br> // then you can access to the img...<br><br>

<div>Hello,<br><br>I use vtkDICOMImageReader to load a CT series:<br><br>vtkDICOMImageReader* reader = vtkDICOMImageReader::New();<br>reader.SetDirectoryName("...");<br>reader->Update();<br>vtkImageData* image = reader->GetOutput();<br>
<br>I was able to load the CT series without issue. The problem is as soon as I call reader::Delete(), the data in "image" appeared to be wiped out. Is there anyway to retain the vtkImageData object without having to keep the vtkDICOMImageReader object?<br>
<br>Thanks!<br><br>Xiaofeng Zhao<br>
