WADO images look grayscale-distorted (Conquest 1.5.0f, MariaDB, Ubuntu 24.x)

  • Hello Marcel,

    I’m seeing a rendering issue with Conquest PACS 1.5.0f.
    Images retrieved via WADO look grayscale-distorted (tonal scale compressed / wrong window), similar to the attached example. They are not simply darker; the gray ramp looks incorrect.

    This occurs regardless of transfer syntax:

    • Implicit VR Little Endian
    • Explicit VR Little Endian
    • JPEG 2000 Lossless

    Opening the same study in the OHIF web viewer looks correct (proper window/level), so the stored pixel data seems fine and the problem appears limited to WADO conversion.

    Environment

    • Conquest: 1.5.0f
    • Database: MariaDB (local)
    • Viewers tested: OHIF (OK), OsiriX / direct browser download / curl (distorted)

    Question
    Could this be related to VOI LUT / Window translation during WADO export, or a dicom.ini or config files option that affects WADO JPEG generation?
    Which parameters/converters should I check or adjust to ensure correct grayscale mapping in WADO output?

    Thanks in advance for your help!
