## Detailed Description

Rescale class.

This class is meant to apply the linear transform of Stored Pixel Value to Real World Value. This is mostly found in CT or PET dataset, where the value are stored using one type, but need to be converted to another scale using a linear transform. There are basically two cases: In CT: the linear transform is generally integer based. E.g. the Stored Pixel Type is unsigned short 12bits, but to get Hounsfield unit, one need to apply the linear transform:

So the best scalar to store the Real World Value will be 16 bits signed type.

In PET: the linear transform is generally floating point based. Since the dynamic range can be quite high, the Rescale Slope / Rescale Intercept can be changing throughout the Series. So it is important to read all linear transform and deduce the best Pixel Type only at the end (when all the images to be read have been parsed).

Warning
  Internally any time a floating point value is found either in the Rescale Slope or the Rescale Intercept it is assumed that the best matching output pixel type is FLOAT64 (in previous implementation it was FLOAT32). Because VR:DS is closer to a 64bits floating point type FLOAT64 is thus a best matching pixel type for the floating point transformation.

Example: Let say input is FLOAT64, and we want UINT16 as output, we would do:

Rescaler ir;
ir.SetIntercept( 0 );
ir.SetSlope( 5.6789 );
ir.SetPixelFormat( FLOAT64 );
ir.SetMinMaxForPixelType( ((PixelFormat)UINT16).GetMin(), ((PixelFormat)UINT16).GetMax() );
ir.InverseRescale(output,input,numberofbytes );
