This article describes how to convert DICOM to PNG using Python. It guides on establishing the IDE for development, a list of steps, and a sample code for changing DICOM to PNG in Python. Various export options are discussed for customizing the output PNG files according to the requirements.
Steps to Convert DCM to PNG using Python
- Import the required classes and modules from Aspose.Imaging for Python via .NET and Aspose.PyCore
- Apply the Aspose license using set_license() to unlock full features
- Load the DICOM file (0002.DCM) using Image.load() and cast it to DicomImage using pycore.as_of
- Loop through each page in the DICOM file using a for loop
- Create PngOptions for each page to define PNG export settings
- Resize each page to the desired pixels using resize()
- Save each resized page as a separate PNG file with unique names like Page-0.png, Page-1.png, etc.
These steps summarize the process to transform a file from DCM to PNG using Python. Import desired classes and modules, apply the license for unlocking full features, load the DICOM file, and parse through all the pages in the loaded file. Create a PngOptions object to customize the output PNG by setting its size, and save each image on the disk separately.
Code for DICOM to PNG Converter using Python
This sample code has demonstrated the process to convert DICOM to PNG. If the loaded image is directly saved as PNG, only the first page is rendered to PNG. You can customize the output PNG by setting its quality, format, compression, resolution and color depth.
