I am not sure if this fits your definition of "user friendly", but
have a look at devide (build on top of GDCM 2.x, python, VTK, ITK &
wxWidgets):

-> http://visualisation.tudelft.nl/Projects/DeVIDE

I guess I should also mention this new project:

# InVesalius : InVesalius is a free 3D medical image reconstruction
software. Based on DICOM two-dimensional images, acquired using CT or
RMI, the software generates virtual three-dimensional models
correspondent to anatomical parts of the human body. InVesalius allows
the generation of STL (stereolithography) files, used for Rapid
Prototyping. The software is developed in Python and uses VTK, being
available in English and Portuguese. Runs on Windows and Linux.

DicomBrowser (http://nrg.wustl.edu/projects/DICOM/DicomBrowser.jsp)
does what you're looking for. It does require real Java (not gcj),
version 1.5 or later, but we run it on Ubuntu (among other platforms)
with no trouble.
