Pixel Data. I guess that one cant escape talking about pixels when dealing with DICOM. After all, imaging is what DICOM is all about and digital images are built from pixels. So today, to celebrate release 2. DICOM Toolkit, Im finally going to touch the heart of every DICOM Image, The Pixel Data. For todays post Ive prepared a little C test application that really does nothing much other then putting pixels into the pixel data of a DICOM file and save it. Well, not exactly nothing much, because it creates a huge DICOM file, more then 0. GB and compress it and never use more then 2. MB of memory. If you want to know how, read on. If you havent done so yet, download the example source code and the latest version of RZDCX and regsvr. For this example, its important to use version 2. You can also download the 2. JPEG compressed DICOM file that the test application creates. Just make sure you have enough RAM before double clicking it because most viewers will take 7. MB to display it. The first part of the application, up to line 8. Setting the image pixel group elements is rather standard. We set some mandatory elements in every DICOM object like patient name and ID and the UIDs for the study series and instance and set the object class to secondary capture. Now comes the image pixel module with the tags starting with 0. This group is responsible for describing how to read the pixels. Im going to go over each one and explain its use and meaning. Heres a dump of this group from the uncompressed file created by this example 0. Don Mock Guitar Secrets Revealed Pdf Free on this page. US 3 2, 1 Samples. Per. Pixel0. 02. CS RGB 4, 1 Photometric.

You can see that there are differences because the data in these elements should describe the pixels as they are in the pixel data element. Notice the difference in Photometric Interpretation. In the JPEG compressed file, its YBRFULL4. YCb. Cr color space. Also notice that the uncompressed file has a simple array of bytes in the pixel data element while the jpeg compressed has a sequence of 2. Reading Chinese Lets go over each element and explain them all. Rows and Columns. Rows 0. 02. 8,0. Columns 0. Rows is the height i. Y and Columns is the width i. X. In our example every frame is 1. Well see what is frame in a minute. Samples Per Pixel. Samples per pixel 0. In grayscale images like CT and MR it is set to 1 for the single grayscale channel and for color images like in our case it is set to 3 for the three color channels Red, Green and Blue. Photometric Interpratation. The photometric interpratation 0. DICOM. It defines what does every color channel hold. You may refer it to the color space used to encode the image. In our example it is RGB meaning the first channel ir Red, the second is Green and the third is Blue. In grayscale images like CT or MR it is usually MONOCHROME2 meaning its grayscale and 0 should be interpreted as Black. In some objects like some fluoroscopic images it may be MONOCHROME1 meaning its grayscale and 0 should be interpreted as White. Other values may be YBRFULL or YBRFULL4. YCb. Cr color space that is used in JPEG. Planar configuration. Planar configuration 0. It is relevant only when Samples Per Pixel 1 i. It can be either 0 meaning the channels are interlaced which is the common way of serializing color pixels or 1 meaning its separated i. The separated way is rather rare and when it is used its usually with RLE compression. The following image shows the two ways. BTW, If this element is missing, the default is interlaced. Bits Allocated, Bits Stored and High Bit. Luckily, most toolkits and RZDCX among them take care of extracting and manipulating the pixels for you, but if you ever need to do it yourself, youll have to do it according to these attributes and also make sure to take littlebig endian into your considerations. Bits Allocated 0. In our case we encode 2. RGB image which is the most standard image on earth so every channel is encoded in 8 bits i. All DICOM objects at least that I have looked into so far always use complete bytes for bits allocated so it is either 8 or 1. Bits Stored 0. 02. In our case, as every sample value is between 0 and 2. Returning to CT images, where each sample value is between 0 and 4. The remaining four bits are not part of the pixel value and should be masked out when reading the pixels. Sometimes these bits are used to store overlay planes data. High Bit 0. 02. 8,0. It is the bit number the first bit is bit 0 of the last bit used. In the standard it is always set as one less then the bits stored but hypothetically it doesnt have to be that way. In our case, the high bit is 7. In CT it is 1. 1. Heres an image from the DICOM standard that shows how pixels are arranged bit wise. Pixel Representation. Pixel Representation 0. The default is unsigned. Theres an anecdotal issue here with VR codes of US and SS and this attribute because when it is set to signed then all the attributes of group 0. Signed Shorts SS and when its unsigned they should be unsigned US too. Number of Frames. Number of Frames 0. Usually theres only one and this element is omitted but in DICOM you can create multi frame image objects and then you have to set this element. In our case we create a multi frame image with 2. This concludes all the mandatory elements of the image pixel but for one, the pixel data. Its time to set the pixels into the pixel data element 7. FE0, 0. 01. 0. You may ask why all the other image pixel module elements are of group 0. DICOM why questions, but this time I would like to ask this question because I think theres a good answer. Think of it until we get to the end of this post. Lets calculate the pixel data length. We have 1. 28. 0 x 9. ROWS COLUMNS NUMBEROFFRAMES SAMPLESPERPIXEL BITSALLOCATED8. Osiris Dicom Windows 10© 2017
