DICOM BUG ($88,$0200) preview
Posted: Sat Aug 10, 2013 12:15 pm
Problems with DICOM in NC 6.17 (there is no latest, and most of it affects XNview too):
- If DICOM file contains a preview image (element ($88,$0200) SQ), NC takes only this one, instead of the main image. I can "fix" it by "patching away" the "evil" element. Solution: skip this element when searching for the image.
- NC "-info" reports 8 bits per component, despite it's more
- NC "-info" reports some of the medical junk, but doesn't report the bit stuff (location of the usually 12 useful bits within the usually 16 total bits)
- some files give garbage when viewed or converted (needs more investigation)
