I am working with Secondary Capture Object (SCO) mammograms (series description: Tomosynthesis Recontruction) stored in DICOM files. I need Pixel Spacing and Slice Thickness for my project. Unfortuantely, I could not find anything related to Pixel Spacing or Slice Thickness in the DICOM headers being printed.

I need some tips on how to create a DICOM file from two images. I already have a Python script with which I can create a DICOM from a 3D voxel. Now I want to add a color histogram (file format .tif) to the same DICOM. What options do I have to implement this? The 3D stack should not be overwritten, but I still want to be able to select the histogram in just one DICOM container. I would appreciate any kind of help 🙂

I am in a position where I have a 3D numpy array with dose values, along with the ImagePositionPatient DICOM values for each slice. These position values are extracted from a CT DICOM series which I also have access to.

The problem I have is that the way rdsr_navigator is written, if there are multiple instances of a field (x-ray filters for example, in the attached image); then rdsr_navigator grabs the first instance found. I am only interested in the copper filtration figures and not aluminium, which on some systems comes up as the first instance, and on others the second.

I’m relatively new to Python.
