[Insight-users] information loss of images

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Kasp,


The answer to your question probably
can be found among the answers of the
following new questions:


A) What image modality is stored in your DICOM files ?

B) Did you created the MetaHeader manually ?
    or through the ImageFileWriter ?

C) What pixel type did you used for instantiating the
    ImageFileReader ?

D) What pixel type did you used for instantiating the
    ImageFileWriter ?

E) Can you post the MetaImage header that you got ?


Probably a post of your code will be a better
answer to these questions.

FYI, The simplest way of converting DICOM to MetaImage
(or to any other ITK supported file format) is to use
the application:

   Insight/Examples/IO/
              DicomSeriesReadImageWrite.cxx


You could also use MRIConvert

   Regards,




     Luis
