Thanks Bill.
Can I use vtkShiftscale filter on this unsigned short data to convert to
short?Because I want to keep original data type as it is, as it is being
used by the another process in the pipeline.
If yes,what should be the shift and scale I have to supply to shiftscale
filter.

With Kind Regards,
Mallikarjun
