They should be exactly the same data, so it could just be a human-factors perception problem. I'd guess that the tkmedit image is larger than the probedicom image, so it will look worse. Try viewing it from a few feet away:).

Hello.

I have a question in regards to Doug's suggestion. When I view the image using mri_dicomprobe, the image is great. However when I convert the dicom files into nifti to view and work with in tkmedit, the images I get in tkmedit are very poor quality. I used:
mri_convert -i <input dicom>.dcm <output>.nii

Any suggestions?

If you just want to view one image from one dicom file, then you can use mri_probedicom with the --view option. If you want to view it as a volume, then I'd convert it to nifti and view it in tkmedit, fslview, afni, spm, etc.

Hi,

What do people usually use to view dicom images, and how do I invoke this
viewer?

Thanks!
Dahlia.
