Help with displaying dicom image using PIL

[Asritha]

Hi Everyone,

I have a problem displaying a dicom image properly on PIL(Python Image
Library)

I have used the code in the following link
http://code.google.com/p/pydicom/wiki/ViewingImages

but it shows some blur thing and not shows the correct image
when i open the same image in dicombrowser it displays clear image but
not with this..

Please help me..

Thanks in advance

That example you named is fairly basic - there is now better code in
the contrib folder [1] (pydicom_PIL.py) which includes adjusting the
window/level which might help you. The Tkinter one in the same folder
might also offer some ideas using a different display library.

I am thinking that there is a bug in the code

http://code.google.com/p/pydicom/source/browse/source/dicom/contrib/pydicom_PIL.py

In the def show_PIL
line 68 should be

if ('WindowWidth' in dataset) or ('WindowCenter' in dataset): # can
only apply LUT if these values exist

instead

if ('WindowWidth' not in dataset) or ('WindowCenter' not in dataset):
# can only apply LUT if these values exist
