Hello,

For the digital mammo system from Sectra, a floating point number
PixelToPhotonRatio stored in a private DICOM tag 0019:1024 (type FD) is
required for linearisation of the image.
Does anybody has experience how to obtain this number in an easy way?
ImageJ doesn't know the tag definition (it's private) and interpretes
the value as a string: << ºEt{?®Ö? >> instead of a number:
0.354404802857143.

Thanks,

Frank Rogge
