<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Hi Insight users,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am talking about PET images. The data I am dealing with has a wide dynamic intensity range.</div>
<div>Now I am trying to write it as a DICOM image. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As we all know, DICOM only stores 16bit integer as pixel value. I tried to manipulate DICOM tag 0028|1052 and 0028|1053 for the RescaleIntercept and RescaleSlope. Failed. They were always reset to be 0 and 1.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is there any suggestion about how to store the original intensity values instead of having them chopped off to be 16bit integer. In my case, I probably need float non-1 RescaleSlope. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>BTW, I define my writer as </div>
<div>typedef itk::ImageSeriesWriter< OutputImageType, OutputImageType2D > SeriesWriterType;</div>
<div>OutputImageType::PixelType is float and OutputImageType2D::PixelType is signed short.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div>Wen</div>
