When the valid fields are provided we should prefer to apply the provided scaling information at time of conversion from dcm to itk. Most of the time there is no scaling information provided and no scaling is done.
Implementation
When calling the get_itk_image function we check to see if there are the appropriate scaling dicom headers
It then extracts the scaling information out of the provided headers and applies them to the newly generated ITK image
Testing
This was manually tested on over 800 prostate studies with promising results.
There are No Unit tests as of yet
