Hi, everyone.
I performed CT scanning on some kiwis(the fruit). When I open the images using MicroDicom, it shows fine, I mean the images are in order showing different slices of a kiwi from head to 'foot' and slice by slice. However, when I look at the headers of each image, I find them in mess. As I'd like to upload these images onto another software, it comes a problem to pick them out one by one. Do you guys know the regularity behind these picture headers?
I attached the screenshots of one group of kiwis. For example, the first kiwi's image starts from IM67, then IM78, IM89, IM100...it seems adding 11 stepwise. However, followed by IM100 is IM 112. I couldn't find the regularity behind these numbers.
Numbering is heavily dependent on the scanner source and how it handles DICOM headers. For your particular situation, I would find which header value (you can use ImageJ or equivalent) that consistently gives you what you need for your application. Slices may need to be sorted by slice position, for example.
Thank you very much, Yueh Z Lee! although I did't get your point.
In fact, I can use ImageJ to open these images easily. My question is I need to find out the regularity behind the headers. If this problem couldn't be resolved, I couldn't further process them using say Python or other software. Yueh Z Lee
