Reading compressed DICOM JPEG2K images

#1 Post by ali »

Hello,

We want to work with smaller DICOM images in our system.
My question - is it possible to read a compressed (lossless) DICOM JPEG2K image without decompressing?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

yes, you can read it like any other DICOM file using DCMTKs dcmdata library (this is for example, what also the dcmdump does). Here is a short code example in the dcmdata documentation start page.

Best regards,
Michael
