OpenDX (www.opendx.org) is one posibility, but you'll need to
convert the DICOM data to something it can read first, using
medcon perhaps.

ImageJ can easily read the DICOM, but is not really a 3D modeling
tool.  

If you are willing to use something that is not open source, but
is available if you agree to the licesnce agreement, try 3D
Slicer (www.slicer.org).  It will read the DICOM data directly
and can by used to to do segmentation and make 3D models from the
results.
