dicomread not working for specific files

Hi,

I am working on specific dicom files recently and cannot use dicomread function to read files..

Can someone check the error below and suggest some help to read files.

img = dicomread('LCC.dcm');
info = dicominfo('LCC.dcm');
low = abs(info.RescaleIntercept)-abs(info.WindowCenter)+30;
high = low + info.WindowWidth;
figure, imshow(img,[low high]);

Error:

Thanks,

Gopi

Some applications produce DICOM files that do not meet the standards and cannot be loaded in other programs that do not implement the same broken behaviour.

Sometimes, DICOM files get corrupted in transmission. You should go back to the source and obtain a new copy to try.

Hi Sir, Maybe you are right. In my work i got files from PACS system which i converted to dicom using onis http://www.onis-viewer.com/

Maybe this is not good software for my conversion, can you suggest me some free softwares which i can use to convert files to dicom which can be properly used in MATLAB

Thanks, Gopi

The information that I find about PACS is that PACS files are already DICOM files and so would not need to be modified for use in MATLAB (provided they were generated from a compliant device.)
