[vtkusers] why the DICOM image is completely white when I use lung color level and window?

[Liu_tj]

Hi, David,

So I need to convert the window and level value, 1200 and -600, by this mapping "ModalityValue = RescaleSlope * StoredValue + RescaleIntercept" before I call the vtkImageViewer2->SetColorLevel() and SetColorWindow() function, right?

Thanks
Liu Peng

Hi Liu Peng,


Use the reader's GetRescaleSlope() and GetRescaleIntercept().  See http://dgobbi.github.io/vtk-dicom/doc/api/image_display.html and scroll down to the "Grayscale image display" section.


For a run-down on some of the complications of Window/Level in DICOM, see the following:

Hi,


I use vtkImageViewer2 to display DICOM series. If I set the lung color level and window, which is -600 and 1200, to the vtkImageViewer2, the image is completely white.


If I use other DICOM browser tool, with the same level and window, the DICOM is displayed correclty.



What's wrong with the level and window setting to vtkImageViewer2?


Thanks
