DICOM black artifacts
DICOM black artifacts
Hello,
Please help me to properly display and convert a dicom image with ImageMagick
The original .dcm image is here http://www.sendspace.com/file/jc7l4g
It's diplayed and converted by imagemagick like this:
https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/S ... directlink
But it should be like this:
https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/P ... directlink
How can i achieve it ?
OS: Gentoo Linux, amd64 using imagemagick-6.7.2.6
Thank you!
Best regards:
Kamen Dokov

Re: DICOM black artifacts
I would say there is a overflow bug somewhere in the pipeline...
Maybe you can avoid it by using the HDRI enabled version of ImageMagick (involves a recompile) since it uses floating point and allows whiter than white colors.

But my imagemagick is already compiled with enabled hdri option :
I really want to use imagemagick for this kind of a job. It's powerful, quick, easy to use, well documented and offers great support and community.emerge --info media-gfx/imagemagick

Re: DICOM black artifacts
I know very little about DICOM files. The one app (GraphicConverter) that could view your source image showed a lot of noise and was inverted.
Several tools such as Photoshop and GIMP could not open it and a couple, such as GIMP, gave messages about not able to handle 4096 bpp data.
Your image looks fine in IM display
display GEORGIEV_EMILIYAN.DCM
also
convert GEORGIEV_EMILIYAN.DCM GEORGIEV_EMILIYAN.PNG
And the PNG file displays fine also in IM
display GEORGIEV_EMILIYAN.PNG
I am using IM 6.7.2.9 Q16, but not HDRI, on Mac OSX tiger.
Have you tried converting to TIFF or some other format besides PNG to see if it is a PNG problem?
Have you upgraded your libpng?

Re: DICOM black artifacts
Upgrade to ImageMagick 6.7.2-9. It includes a DICOM patch that fixes the problem you reported.

I'll wait for few days till IM 6.7.2.9 comes to my distro and I'll report back here.fmw42 wrote:

I tried other formats but the output is the same, my hopes are concentrated on the new IM version
Thanks guys, appreciated

Don't even start with that!fmw42 wrote:I know very little about DICOM files. The one app (GraphicConverter) that could view your source image showed a lot of noise and was inverted.

I hate dicom files in the guts This format is for medical CAT scans, MRI scans, medical 3d imaging etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dicom
Making simple dental images (2d, grayscale image) as dicom is like killing a fly with a hydrogen bomb.
PNG or TIFF could be sufficient. And on top of that each hardware/software manufacturer makes different dicoms (there is no guarantee that you'll be able to open it with different software), for example Kodak produces *. rvg dicom files

Disabling HDRI does not make any difference also
Re: DICOM black artifacts
Post a URL to a rendering of your image in the PNG or JPEG format so we can compare what you think is the correct rendering to what ImageMagick produces. That will help us identify any bugs in the ImageMagick DICOM coder.

This is how this image should look like: https://picasaweb.google.com/1120348732 ... 9512934754magick wrote:Post a URL to a rendering of your image in the PNG or JPEG format so we can compare what you think is the correct rendering to what ImageMagick produces.

You can download both from picasa in .png format.
Thank you for your help!

Re: DICOM black artifacts
We're using ImageMagick 6.7.2-10 and we get the correct results when converting your DICOM image.

Can you tell me please:
1.What command line options do you use for the conversion?
2.Which dependencies of imagemagick can cause such artifacts into the image ?
Thank you!
Re: DICOM black artifacts
Make sure you are running the proper version of ImageMagick. The behavior your describe is what is expected to versions of ImageMagick prior to a recent patch we applied to fix the problem you posted. The conversion command was simple: convert image.dcm image.png. The DICOM coder does not rely on any dependencies. ImageMagick 6.3.0 will be released within a day or two if you want to try it but it should not be necessary ImageMagick 6.7.2-10 works for us.

I really don't know what is going on
Is it possible some cflags or ldflags to mess things up during compile time?
