I have a question for image type in dicom standard. In the dicom document I found image type has five types which are :
MONOCHROME1
MONOCHROME2 MPEG2 -single component data
YBR_ICT
YBR_RCT
YBR_PARTIAL_420 MPEG2 -multi-component data
If image type in dicom file is MONOCHROME1 or MONOCHROME2, Is it compress or not compress? And What are different between two type: MONOCHROME1 or MONOCHROME2? Thanks

"Monochrome2" is a DICOM photometric interpretation value. All it. means is that the pixel data consists of a single monochrome image. plane where the minimum pixel value is intended to be displayed as. black. "
2 Photometric Interpretation. The value of Photometric Interpretation (0028,0004) specifies the intended interpretation of the image pixel data. See PS3. 5 for additional restrictions imposed by compressed Transfer Syntaxes.
MONOCHROME1 indicates that the greyscale ranges from bright to dark with ascending pixel values, whereas MONOCHROME2 ranges from dark to bright with ascending pixel values.
Image compression is independent of the Photometric Interpretation (0028,0004) attribute. Compression is instead given by the Transfer Syntax UID (0002,0010) attribute.
