How do I access original pixel data (e.g. Hounsfield Units for CT) using class DicomImage?

Until recently, there was no (official) way to access the internal pixel data representation of DicomImage. The main purpose of this class (and module dcmimgle/dcmimage in general) is visualization and, therefore, you can only access rendered pixel data. However, starting with DCMTK 3.5.4 there is some means of accessing the internal representation directly using
getInterData().
With previous versions of the DCMTK you should use the lower level routines from module dcmdata, e.g.
findAndGetUint16Array().
