VTK itself does not provide DICOM network services, they are far beyond VTK’s scope. If you are writing a Qt + VTK application, you can look at [CommonTk](https://commontk.org/) to see if it provides what you need, but I suspect it only provides basic PACS query/retrieve.

Your best bet is probably to implement a solution based on the command-line tools provided by DCMTK.
