RT Dose 32 bit Image Compression Failure

#1 Post by angad »

Hi,

We have some 32 bit RT Dose Files. As i know, DCMTK compression API's are meant for 8 and 16 bit DICOM files. I have seen DICOM RT support in recent dcmtk snapshot. Can you please confirm that 32 bit RT Dose files compression is supported in the snapshot?

Thanks,
Angad Nath

Hi,

some compression schemes (e.g. the typcal JPEG compression schemes) do not work for 32 bit data. Deflated compression and RLE are defined on these bit depths for example, and do also work in DCMTK.

Best,
Michael
