HI everyone

I'm trying to continue the ImportFromBitmap Plugin development , this plugin has a limitation because only load 24 Bit RGB Images, and in Dicom there are many machines that only load 8 bit grayscale images.

For this purpose I 'm working with 8bpp PixelFormat but something si wrong at the moment I display the image and I'm Doing this at the moment to convert.

    BitmapData data = image.LockBits(new Rectangle(0, 0, columns, rows), ImageLockMode.ReadOnly, image.PixelFormat);

stride = data.Stride;

for (int i = 0; i < rows; i ++)
                        Marshal.Copy(new IntPtr(bmpData.ToInt64() + (i * stride)), pixelData, i * stride, stride);

return pixelData;

 

this is the data that goes to :

dicomFile.DataSet[DicomTags.PixelData].Values

I would like to know if someone knows about how can be solved this issue

thanks to all..

After I little reading of the DICOM Standard finally I got The dataset characteristics and the how to read the image to its proper display in 8 bit Grayscale....

Hi, glad you got it sorted out. As I'm sure you've discovered, there's really no such thing as a grayscale bitmap. I've been meaning to update the Import From Bitmap plugin in the repository for 2.0SP1, but haven't had a chance to do it. If you are willing to share your source, I can incorporate your changes when I update it.

Best regards,
Stewart
