DICOM decompression

I just tried to load a DICOM dataset and received the following error
message

"java.io.IOException

ImageJ cannot open compressed DICOM images

Transfer Syntax UID = 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.70"

There are 440 .DCM images varying between 130 and 230KB so presumably
these are compressed. I searched the list archives for "DICOM
decompression" and found nothing. I looked at the online manual but
could not find anything in the "File" menu. Is there a tool available
for decompression?

Thanks.

Douglas

Re: DICOM decompression

You can use our DICOM Tools together with an installed Java ImageIO :

http://santec.tudor.lu/project/optimage/dicom/start

That yhould open most of the images.

Dear Johannes,

Thank you for the link. I have downloaded all the files and have managed
to open the images. Now I would like to save the stack as uncompressed
DICOM. However, I cannot find the correct icon in TudorDicom to save the
stack.

Thank you for your help.

Douglas

Re: DICOM decompression

unfortunately there is no funktionality to save a stack by now.
You could do a small macro that runs through the stack and saves each
image.
