MicroDicom give incorrect Photometric Interpretation value

Post by Salaheddine »

Hello,

I am using MicroDicom to split a single DCM file (a serie) into multiple DCM files. But after exporting the resultant files contains an incorrect value for the tag (0028,0004) Photometric Interpretation.
Before exporting the tag have the value : MONOCHROME2
Before exporting the tag have the value : RGB

Thanks.

PS :

Hello,
Yes, it works in that way in the latest version. Every time when an image is exported to DICOM, we construct new image data that is RGB. And for that reason, we change Photometric Interpretation to RGB.

We will extend our exporter to preserve monochrome. This is already written in our TODO list.
