It was covered under my insurance (which means I'll pay an apparently random out-of-pocket amount between 0% and 99% at some later date, judging on previous uses of this insurance).
They didn't offer me the data, but I asked, and they gave me a DVD full of scan data. Had to do a little research to figure out how to convert that data to jpeg images, but it wasn't too hard - it turns out imagemagick understands the formats involved, and can do all of the required processing steps.
- wesley 17y agoWould you mind sharing the scripts? Would love to have something similar. :-)
- abstractbill 17y agoI didn't save my work unfortunately ;-) I'll have a look when I get home tonight though - there's a decent chance everything is still in my bash history!
- viraptor 17y agoIt's was most probably in DICOM (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Imaging_and_Communications_in_Medicine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Imaging_and_Communicati...) - pretty much a standard nowadays and you can find a lot of FOSS applications that can read it. Just watch out for the file sizes - those images are not compressed high-resolution 3d 16-or-more-bit grayscale, so you need massive amounts of ram/swap. The format itself is cool though - it can support annotations, arrows and basically anything-you-want overlayed on certain parts of the image afterwards.
