Dicom files in object detection problems : <p>I have faced with an issue of working with dicom files in object detection. I need to recognize various objects on the CT (computer tomography) images.</p>

<p>I tried to follow this tutorial. The author uses jpeg files for labeling the dataset, obtaining a csv file with the coordinates of objects on the images:</p>

<p>I need to do almost the same except the fact that I do not have jpegs, instead I have a big number of dicom files. I tried to convert them into jpegs, however there was a quality loss in the resulting files.</p>

<p>My questions are:</p>

<p>1) is there any good way of converting dicom files into jpegs without big quality loss?</p>

<p>2) is there any other approach for object detection on dicom files?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
