replacing our system with offis

[jph2667]

My current goal is to replace the image data that my existing system retrieves from a DICOM file and replace it with the image data that the offis toolkit retrieves.

I have tried to use
image->getOutputData(data,fileByteSizewidth*height*slices*bands*sizeof(T), 8,1));
where

image :: dicomimage
data is a buffer of type unsigned short*
the next group is the size of the buffer
8 is the bits sampled
1 is the frame

Is there some other method or class i should make use of? or could i be approaching the solution in the wrong way?

getMinMaxValues() returns 0 for min and 1570 for max, how do i apply them to the image?

First of all, it would be really helpful if you could describe what you intend to do.

i appologize

The goal is to have the image displayed in a dicom view application using the algorithms provided by the dicom offis toolkit.

Currently every pixel provided by our algorithm is an array with numerical values of each pixel. I believe that the toolkit is done in the same manner, however currently the values returned with the toolkit are extremely negative numbers (such as -32232). However when i add the most negative number to each pixel value (for loop) - the image displays correctly with my existing program.

getMinMaxValues() returns 0 for min and 1570 for max, how do i apply them to the image?

What i meant to ask was when i use that function, I get numbers typical of those that are displayable. I would like to set every number in the array to values between those two points. Is there any way to use that number range with values returned with

getOutputData(0,0,0)

I still do not really understand what you're describing. getOutputData() never returns signed pixel data. In case you want to specify a VOI window, please use one of the methods provided for this purpose (e.g. setMinMaxWindow).

There's also a simple example in the documentation of module "dcmimgle".
