DICOM To Targa Parameters
INPUT TRANSFORM: K:$L(X)>40!($L(X)<1) X
LAST EDITED: JAN 25, 2013
HELP-PROMPT: Enter the parameter list for the program dcmtotga.exe, 1-40 characters .
DESCRIPTION: This is a list of parameters that are to be specified when the program is called that converts an
image in DICOM format to Targa(TM) format.
These parameters will apply to files that originate from the type of modality that is described
in the current entry.
When the parameters are different for the conversion to a 'clinical resolution' image than they
are for a 'full resolution' image, the value of this field consists of two parts, separated by a
slash ("/"). In that case, the first part specifies the parameters for clinical images, and the
second part specifies the parameters for the full images.
