output 16 bits tiff file from plain radiograph

[CHEN YUAN]

Dear All friends

I am new to the imageJ. My job is to convert the 3D reconstruction images from the microCT scan to 8-nodes finite elements with the help of Matlab and ANSYS. Cause I don't want lose too much information about the grayscale, the reconstruction images are better of the format which would be  16 bits tiff, 16 bit raw or dicom.

Unfortunately, the reconstruction software in our CT scanner could only cope with the 16 bits plain radiographs and convert it into 8 bits reconstruction dataset, which of course would be useless in my case. So I am wondering if the imageJ would allow me to do the reconstruction the 16 bit plain images and output it as 16 bits tiff images.

Cheers

Hi Yuan,
As far as I know you use Skyscan uCT scanners in Sheffield. That comes
with the NRecon reconstruction software, which saves as 8-bit by
default. However, in the output tab you can specify 16-bit Tiff. so that
should sort your problem.
bye,
Rob

Thanks very much Rob, I will talk to the technician and see what is going on.
