Posted - Feb 07 2026 : 13:32:35 Hi, using version 14.0.1. I read a group of images with TImageEnMIO with IoParams.BitsPerSample := 14; IoParams.SamplesPerPixel := 1; Bitmap.PixelFormat := ie16g; then I save in Dicom format. The problem is that the code in iemio.pas from line 5114 overwrites the BitsPerSample in Dicom image even if (like very often) it already has a different value. The right values for this information would be the BitsStored for internal Dicom context.
And then, in file iedicom.pas from line 8746 if (ctx.Params.SamplesPerPixel = 1) and (ctx.Params.BitsPerSample = 16) then begin // Gray scale 16 bit ctx.Params.DICOM_Tags.SetTagString($0028, $0004, IEDICOM_PHOTOMETINTERPRET_MONOCHROME_ZEROISBLACK); // Photometric interpretation ctx.Params.DICOM_Tags.SetTagNumeric($0028, $0100, 16); // Bits allocated ctx.Params.DICOM_Tags.SetTagNumeric($0028, $0101, 16); // Bits stored ctx.Params.DICOM_Tags.SetTagNumeric($0028, $0102, 15); // High bit
The values for BitAllocated and BitsStored are fixed and I haven't found a way to change. Except editing the dicom file directly. This is a problem with medical images because having a wrong value leads to displaying ugly images.
It would be very usefull at least a new property in TIOParams property DICOM_BitsStored: Integer read fDICOM_BitsStored write fDICOM_BitsStored; Best regards PP

Posted - Feb 11 2026 : 21:15:50 Sorry Pinco, I was meaning a file created by a third party application, but it is OK, I have found one. Can you please email me to test a DICOM_BitsStored property.

Posted - Feb 11 2026 : 07:50:25 Hi Nigel, the image I already sent you was recorded at 14 bit, the original was divided in some hundreds raw files that I loaded with TImageEnMIO than saved to Dicom and finally patched by hand the tags BitsStored and HighBit. All (not many) images I've are near identical :-( I will ask them to give me more material to work with. PP |

Posted - Feb 11 2026 : 03:13:18 Hi Pinco
Can you forward me some samples where BitsPerSample it is internally recorded as 14?

Posted - Feb 10 2026 : 04:57:57 Hi Nigel, the image is not invalid. It can be read by all software. But saying that has 16 bit "used" when are only 14 or 12 create some problem in visualization. It's an incorrect information!

Posted - Feb 09 2026 : 15:31:01 Thanks, so at this time, ImageEn will always save ie16g images as SamplesPerPixel = 1 and BitsPerSample = 16. Are you seeing invalid images being created in this way?

Posted - Feb 09 2026 : 04:02:20 I sent you (using SwissTransfer) a Dicom.

We have been doing a lot of work with PixelFormats in our current beta. Can you forward us some of your BPP14 images so we can test this?
