Riesmeier | Regarding dcm2pnm (or dcmj2pnm if you need support for JPEG-compressed DICOM images) I would suggest to use option --min-max-window (short: +Wm) in addition to --write-png (short: +on). This makes sure that an automatically computed VOI window (based on the minimum and maximum pixel value in the image) is applied for rendering the output bitmap. | |

While it's is possible that it will have the same result at least give it a shot. You could also experiment with the input commands for either command and the LUT options. Using verbose and image info might shed some more light on your input and what's going wrong during conversion. | |

| Oct 30, 2019 at 15:10 | comment | added | Stéphane | @Moab, no, that one is part of the usual dcmtk package on Ubuntu, but it doesn't convert the image correctly. See the images I posted in my question. So far, the only one that seems to work correctly is the .pbm converter. | |
| Oct 30, 2019 at 15:00 | comment | added | Moab | It may not be able to be done in Linux, I see several windows utilities that claim to do it, but this one has to be complied>>>>>>support.dcmtk.org/docs/dcmj2pnm.html | |
| Oct 30, 2019 at 14:23 | comment | added | Stéphane | @Moab No, as you can see above, that technique does not work. The images are not converted correctly. The only one that seems to work correctly is the .pbm, but what I need is .png or .jpg. | |

explain why the images look wrong

| Oct 30, 2019 at 9:55 | comment | added | Stéphane | @Seth I would like to convert the DICOM to PNG format with a single conversion command. | |

I don't really get what the problem is. Your last command is a single conversion command. The other commands, if still necessary, highlight what needs to be done. For a single command dcmj2pnm seems to provide what you're asking for?

| Oct 30, 2019 at 9:45 | comment | added | Stéphane | @LjmDullaart Because I'd rather understand what parameters I'm missing so I can do the conversion in a single step. | |

Why not do it in two steps: dctopgm8 000005.dcm 000005.pbm and convert 000005.pbm 000005.png ?
