Overflow error when opening DICOM-TIFF image with wsidicom about wsidicom

[dclunie]

Why is the pydicom code failing when the check is performed when the value is valid?

Shouldn't pydicom be fixed rather than worked around by deactivating the check, which might be valuable under other circumstances?

Good that it worked out. I noticed that wsidicom unnecessarily set the pydicom flag (which caused your problem), so it is good that you caught and reported this.

Hi Daniela,
Could you provide the whole stack trace for the error? I looks like miss-formatted value, and a possible workaround could be to relax the pydicom parsing. You could try (after importing wsidicom):

from pydicom import config
config.enforce_valid_values = False

Hi @erikogabrielsson,
thanks a lot for your fast answer. Me and also colleagues from mine checked the respective DICOM file and everything seemed well-formatted. However, your suggestion fixed the error. :)

For completion here is the whole stack trace for the error:

Thanks again!

No problem - thanks for helping out so fast. But I agree with David Clunie, this is probably an issue that should be reported to pydicom. I can do that and link this issue, if everyone here agrees :)

Was this issue raised in the pydicom repo?
