is the dicom package different or the same from pydicom package that exist now?

[mscipio]

Hi! The 'dicom' module no longer exists and it has been replaced by 'pydicom'. Most of what written in this article "should" probably still work for the new library, but I have checked it lately so I cannot be sure of that. If you try and what to give a feedback, feel free, and I may use it to update the text in the next future.

Thank you for replying so fast or at all It means lot

hi, i want to know how i can get the HU values of CT (or the value in MR) dicom images in the pixeldata part of the read file. thnx in advance...

[Gresliebear]

you have to extract pixeldata lets say 2D numpy array then convert each pixel to HU.

there's a load scan function that does conversion for you in this pastebin

thanks a lot Leslie i have been messing with dicom files and this info helped me a lot i've never read HU can be calculated as a linear reg equation with data from the dicom file i'm a medical doctor and a msc candidate @ data science. msc graduation project is about medical imaging and your linkedin page shows your primary work interest is also medical imaging. if there is anything i can help, i will be very glad best regards

I think there's a lot of potential with medical images but comparing different machine learning models can be really costly and it requires a team of people to commit to creating some of these models.

I am trying get to back college for a PhD or Masters, I want to work on the same research.

I didn't want to shill myself but here's video explain the code if you need it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWwAFNmPZFQ&t=915s&ab_channel=LeslieWubbel

also there's community I ran on discord and slack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWwAFNmPZFQ&t=915s&ab_channel=LeslieWubbel

we closed down a lot of use are undergrads and busy with work so we keep things open source so people can keep carrying the torch so to speak.
