No available image handler could decode this transfer syntax JPEG Lossless when read DICOM and ploting using matplotlib

Question

When i use pydicom in python3.6, there are some problem:

import pydicom
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import os
import pylab

filePath = \"/Users/zhuangrui         


        

Answer 1

With pydicom, you need an appropriate image handler also installed to handle compressed image types.

For JPEG lossless, in theory the following should work: jpeg_ls, gdcm, or Pillow with jpeg plugin. All of these also require Numpy to be installed. See the discussion at https://github.com/pydicom/pydicom/issues/532.

There is also a pull request in progress to add more descriptive error messages for what image handlers are needed for different images.
