DICOM image corrupted
Posted: 2013-09-21T17:41:46-07:00
Hi all,
I am trying to convert a DICOM image of an x-ray into a more common format, but I can't get it to work with ImageMagick. Using "convert" produces a tiny image that is obviously not correct.
GIMP is able to read the image correctly, except that every second pixel has been swapped with its neighbour so the image still isn't perfect.
Here is the image in question: http://www.shikadi.net/pics/example.dcm (3MB)
The command I am using is "convert example.dcm out.png". ImageMagick thinks the file is only 128x67 while GIMP converts it as 2440x1292.
