I tend argue that we should only do this if we can set VR to "OB"
. Otherwise, receiving applications will likely decode the data incorrectly.
However, that would require chancing the dictionary of pydicom and since that is auto-generated from the table in the standard, it would require a change in the standard.
I would leave it as is until we have further clarity. It's currently definitely not wrong. The VR is OW and the data is 16-bit.
We have decided to disallow 8bit LUTs entirely for the time being. See #177. Closing this.
We can continue to discuss the right thing to do here, but here's the PR to switch to storing 1 byte per entry when bits allocated is 8, if we decide to use it. I vote for merging this
