I have a lot of data resulting from an acquired hospital's migration that must not be fully DICOM compliant. Our PACS displays them as sort of a ghost outline with a grey background. Once uncompressed, these images display fine in my PACS, but conquest doesn't properly uncompress the file (using builtinJPEG or without). Sante DICOM editor can/does uncompress them successfully, as well as command line tool gdcmconv.exe (part of the Grassroots dicom package - documentation here - http://gdcm.sourceforge.net/html/gdcmconv.html)
Neither of those tools are particularly user friendly, and I hope to be able to automate using one of my Conquest instances. The manual hints about being able to use an external program to modify files (as part of an exportconverter), but I couldn't find any examples of how to do this. Can this also be done with an importconverter? (I'd need to run the executable, as well as some command line options - including the path to where the file is located)
Also - if you would want to take a look at some of the files to see WHY it failed in the first place, please let me know.
Thanks in advance!
