[Insight-users] 16-bit IO in ITK

[Emma Ryan]

Hi,

  Just wanted to add....

 If the dicom file were read as <unsigned char, 2>, how does it convert the 16-bit to 8-bit ?

   How does ITK handle 16-bit data conversion to 8-bit ?
For example : if I were to read a dicom series (16-bit) as 'signed
short 'and store it as a volume in .vtk format using OutputPixelType
<unsigned char, 3>, how does the conversion take place ?

Or this conversion not possible in ITK ?

Thanks in advance,
Emma
