Intensity of the output image

[Maryam]

I'm using dcmprint evaluation software. I try to send a normal grayscale image to the server by following
Command: tcpprt_e –auto 1 image.dcm
I see the result postscripts using GostView. It seems that intensity of all pixels is changed to gray. I also uncomment
MinDensity and MaxDensity in tcpprt.cfg file but the result is still invisible. But when I send a print using IQ viewer, the result postscript is well and I can see the image as it is. Would you help me what mistake I'm doing?

Thanks

I used the image you've provided and can confirm that the resulting PS file shows pretty low contrast. The same grayscale impression is created if you convert the image using dcm2pnm without activating the stored VOI window.

A solution for the print client would be to uncomment the VOILUT entry in section "[Image-1]" in the config file "tcpprt.cfg".

I applied VOILUT = 1 but it still makes low contrast image. Any other consideration should be made?

Are you sure that the option is really active? That means, did you follow the rule "Every entry in the configuration file must begin on the first column (no leading whitespace allowed)" from the documentation header in the configuration file? If so there should be a line "Setting VOI LUT number to 1" in the output of the command shell.

It works now. Thanks a lot
