Hi Dominik,

As far as I understand, you do not really need VTK support.

Anyway, have a look at the implementation of the following function:

bool Image_3::read_vtk_image_data(vtkImageData* vtk_image)

in src/CGALimageIO/Image_3.cpp in CGAL. You will find out how to construct a 
CGAL::Image_3 from an array of char and meta-data. I can give you hints if 
you 
cannot easily reverse-engineer that code.
