Do you know how to read the measurements taken by Doctor which is shown on the Dicom image? These values seems to be part of the image and not stored in any of the Attrib values in the Dicom file(unlike values like patient name etc).

Hello, thanks for this great tutorial. It works for me too but generated png photos are blue, i need them black-white or in grayscale just like yours in tutorial. How can i make this? Thanks

[@pycad]

Maybe when you are multiplying by 255 your are getting values above 255! Did you divide by the max first?

Very useful! Thanks a lot!

Thanks very much, very helpful video!

can you paste an image into a dicom image? I am trying to put a qr code into the dicom image, and thought i could simply do it by manipulating the pixel data. Even after converting the qr to the corrrect byte type and color space, i get some werid results

I don't understand , what do we benefice from using DICOM ? why do we use it ? the informations extracted are useless as i see !?

[@박재완-k2u]

thank you for making helpful vidoe! but i faced a little problem when i try your example code. im = pydicom.dcmread('sample.dcm') im = im.pixel_array.astype(float) NotImplementedError: The pixel data with transfer syntax JPEG 2000 Image Compression (Lossless Only), cannot be read because Pillow lacks the JPEG 2000 plugin what can i do for solve it? and where can i get dicom file that you use?

[@hamzakonac6601]

how can I fix this ERROR: File is missing DICOM File Meta Information header or the 'DICM' prefix is missing fromnformation header or the 'DICM' prefix is missing from the header. Use force=True to force reading.

Hello! I'm doing a project of an interface for clinical tool for annotation and visualization of medical images, this is very useful to turn the image data in an annotable image, but how do I convert it back to a DICOM image after the annotation?

[@pycad]

Hi, You can try this conversion: pycad.co/convert-jpg-or-png-images-into-dicom/ But be careful with the reference volume that you will use, for me I used only one dicom file and changed its pixel_array. But for your case you will need to change the dicom file from slice to slice, so that you can keep the indexes.

Hey thank you for this. Can I get hounsfield unit values for pixels after converting dicom image into jpg or png

I am trying to create 3 Channel dataset with dicom file. But I am not doing.How to dicom convert to rgb

[@pycad]

You can extract the image array from the dicom file and then convert it to an image using Pillow and from pillow you can convert from grayscale to RGB.

[@pycad]

You can store your metadata in a txt or json file if you think that you may need it later!

how to convert list of dicom files in to jpg files using for loop

[@pycad]

The easiest way is to put this program in a function that will return the JPG images. Then you create a loop that passes by all the images calling the function in each step
