Getting DCM2PNG to work for images with multiple frames.

[nech_neb]

I have a dicom image which has multiple frames.
I'm trying to convert the image to multiple bitmaps.
What is the best way to achieve this?

dcm2pnm.exe +Fa +ob TEST29 out.bmp

returns this:

ERROR: cannot change to unencapsulated representation for pixel data !
$dcmtk: dcm2pnm v3.5.4 2005-12-20 $

dcm2pnm: Convert DICOM images to PGM/PPM or BMP
error: Invalid data value

Thanks in advance,
Much apprieciated.

Try dcmj2pnm since the image probably uses JPEG compression.

Thanks!! Worked wonderfully.

Is there a way to load an image using JPEG compression into a DicomImage object?

I tried the following,

DJEncoderRegistration::registerCodecs();
DicomImage * di = new DicomImage(fileName);

Tips?
Am I restricted to loading with a DcmFileFormat ??

Thanks in advance.

You need to register the Decoders not the Encoders (see source code of dcm2pnm.cc and examples for module dcmjpeg ).
