JPEG2000 Help(Icon Image Sequence issue)

[angad]

Hi All,

I have tried to implement JPEG 2000 compression logic using OPENJPEG library.

For most of the cases, it worked fine.

But for studies with IconImageSequence , its crashing.

FOllowing is the ImageIconSequence tag :

(0028,0002) US 1 # 2, 1 SamplesPerPixel
(0028,0004) CS [PALETTE COLOR] # 14, 1 PhotometricInterpretation
(0028,0010) US 64 # 2, 1 Rows
(0028,0011) US 64 # 2, 1 Columns

As you can see, sample per pixel coming is 1 where as photo metric interpretation is PALETTE COLOR. Is it correct ?

I have one very basic question : Why dcmtk is compressing/decompressing all the pixel data tags ?

Should we compress / decompress Icon Image Sequence Pixel data tag or not ? ( or any other private sequence with pixel data tag)

Is it required to compress all the pixel data tags according to DICOM standards ?

If not, can i change following code here :

In dcdataset.cc file, while searching for DCM_PixelData tag:

while(search(DCM_PixelData, resultStack, ESM_afterStackTop, OFTrue).good() && l_error.good())

So, Can i change OfTrue to OfFalse in above statement.

while(search(DCM_PixelData, resultStack, ESM_afterStackTop, OFFalse).good() && l_error.good())

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Angad Nath

Hi, can you please share the code for convert JPEG2000 image to DICOM file with openjpeg support. I tried lot but it results the pixel issue. Are you able to help me please, Thanks.

• Within the Icon Image Sequence, you will find an image that is either monochrome or palette color. In both cases, Samples per Pixel will be one.
• As far as I remember, the encoder is permitted to either compress the icon image, or to leave it uncompressed. Decoders need to be able to handle both.
• I think that the DICOM standard is silent on Pixel Data occuring elsewhere. In a standard DICOM IOD, this does not happen. If the pixel data is somewhere within a private sequence, well then you are outside the scope of the standard.
