I have several dicom files created by difference imaging systems. ExifTool is the only tool that can extract dicom tags from all my dicom files. I've tried to extract image from dicom files w/ followings using exiftool-7.36 (command line for windows):
-PreviewImage (created a file 0 KB)
-JpgFromRaw
-ThumbnailImage (created a file 0 KB)
-TagsFromFile
-htmlDump0
-G -H

None of those work. I might used incorrect command. Is it possible to extract image from dicom file using ExifTool?

Re: Etract image from dicom file

To my knowledge, the DICOM format doesn't provide for a reduced-resolution image in the meta information, not in JPEG format anyway.

I suggest trying imagemagick or some other good image utility if you want to view the image itself.
