Importing dicom files

I use File, Import, Image Sequence... to inport stacks of medical CT
images (DICOM files).  

This works fine but when I place the curser over a point I get a value
for black at zero to 20 or so bone is 1000.  Inmages are 16 bit.

When I get values from single images I get black at -900 or so bone at
400 .  These I guess are the actual Houndfield Units in the original
image.

I would like to keep these HU when I import rather than a sequence
rather than having then converted.

I used to be able to do this , an plot a histogram with the negative
values retained.

Have I upset some default? How can I import sequences and retail the
value number for each imported imags as is can be seen when I use "open
file" to open a single image?


Hope somebody can help with this one
