Hi Manu, It sounds like you aren't using osgVolume correctly. First up I would recommend using 2.9.2 or svn/trunk as this will contain the latests update to osgVolume.
Second up you talk about DCMTK build problems, you'll need to be more precise that this for others to help. In general I would say the DCMTK under Windows can be a bit tricky, have a look through the archives to see how others tackled it. I'm under Linux so don't see problems. Using dicom files is currently the easiest route to loading a full 3D volume, but building the 3D osg::Image yourself it's difficult. With the osgvolume example you'll just have to run with --images filenames to get it to read a series of 2D images and pack them into an 3D osg::Image for rendering. Robert.
