We have some images which have overlay information (Dicom group 0x6000) as a part of that image.
In the dicomscope viewer, I tried to load these images, but no overlays were displayed.
When I try to print the activeoverlays from the presentation layer, it prints that there are 2 overlays.
Also I see that there are 2 overlays in the PresentationActivationLayer and 0 in the ImageActivationLayer.
I tried to deactivate the overlays from the Presentation Layer so that they are present in the image activation layer. But still the overlays are not displayed on the image
Is there any way I can display these overlays on the image ?
Thanks

Please check first if the problem is fixed in the 3.6.0 version of DICOMscope which is not yet referenced from the DICOMscope web page but available for download from here.
By default, DICOMscope should activate and display all overlay planes when an image is opened, as long as the overlay planes are correct and not missing mandatory attributes (as in some images produced by older SPI-based Siemens modalities). It could also be possible that the overlay planes are present but simply empty (i.e. consist only of zero bits), in which case there is simply nothing to see even if the overlay is enabled. Again, I have seen such images produced by older Siemens modalities.

DICOMscope 3.6 source
Jörg - I've been sort of waiting for this for a while. It still will happen?Jörg Riesmeier wrote:In fact, we intend to make the source code of DICOMscope 3.6 available on our server but, unfortunately, we haven't had time to do so.
