Hi Hossein,


    Why are you choosing "4096" as the maximum value ?


Can you please run the MaximumMinimumImageCalculator in your
image and post back to the list the maximum and minimum values
that you get ?


    It is unlikely that 4096 is actually the maximum value.


You may not be considering the fact that the pixel intensities
may be linearly rescaled by the slope and intercept values
indicated in the DICOM header.


Please let us know what your find,


    Thanks


       Luis
