python vtk dicom_python - Convert bmp image into DICOM

I have 800 images in BMP format and I would like to convert them into DICOM. I have started like this, but it is not working for some reason.

My experience with VTK is limited:

file_in = 'C:/programfile/image.bmp'

file_out = 'test1.dcm'

vtkGDCMImageReader()

python

vtk

dicom

gdcm

Here it is in python:

r = vtkBMPReader()

r.SetFileName( 'test1.bmp' )

w = vtkGDCMImageWriter()

w.SetInput( r.GetOutput() )

w.SetFileName( 'test1.dcm' )

w.Write()

If your input BMP uses lookup table, you can simply pass it:

r = vtkBMPReader()

r.SetFileName( 'test1.bmp' )

r.Allow8BitBMPOn()

r.Update()

r.GetOutput().GetPointData().GetScalars().SetLookupTable( r.GetLookupTable() )

w = vtkGDCMImageWriter()

w.SetInput( r.GetOutput() )

w.SetFileName( 'test1.dcm' )

w.SetImageFormat( VTK_LOOKUP_TABLE );

w.Write()

And the opposite (DICOM -> BMP):

r = vtkGDCMImageReader()

r.SetFileName( 'test1.dcm' )

w = vtkBMPWriter()

w.SetInput( r.GetOutput() )

w.SetFileName( 'test1.bmp' )

w.Write()

Of course you can do it from the command line, simply use gdcm2vtk:ircos) The error information is: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/IPython/core/interactiveshell.py", line 2820, in run_code exec code_obj in self.user_global_ns, self.user_ns File "

$ gdcm2vtk input.bmp output.dcm

or

$ gdcm2vtk --palette-color input.bmp output.dcm

If you are using C++ there are other libraries DICOM file libraries. Check out DCMTK, specifically one of their example application already does this for you. http://support.dcmtk.org/docs-dcmrt/img2dcm.html

ut the image that I produce does not match the original. I know I need rescaling the pixels of the image to convert it but I do not know how. Does anyone know how I can do the conversion properly Below, my code in python: from vtk import *
