How to convert a .IMG file to DICOM

I have raw medical images which are in .IMG format..... How can i convert in to DICOM, so that i can analyze those images in matlab. Please help me out

Answer 1

DICOM has nothing to do with it. You need to get, or write, a function that will read your raw files into a MATLAB array. Do you know the format of the IMG? Is there any header with any information, like number of rows and columns. Do you know how many bits the pixels are?

[Senthil Kumar]

I can't extract any information from that picture. The header information says "Type - Image file" and " Size - 8 MB". While i try to open this with some image viewer software, it says filename.IMG can't open.

What software produced the files?

[Image Analyst]

You either have to know the format, or make some educated guesses. In the other software, can you find out the number of rows and columns in the image? Is it color or monochrome? Is it 8 bit of 16 bit? etc. Even if you don't know those you can just go through all possibilities until you get something that works. You will see clues in the displayed image that will help you home in on the answer, like the image is skewed, or you get two overlapped/interlaced images, etc.
