If you set Window Center (0028,1050) and Window Width (0028,1051) DICOM attributes then the image will be loaded with that brightness/contrast setting. You can always adjust the displayed brightness/contrast of the image as shown [here](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/feedback-requested-how-to-improve-mouse-interaction-in-views/6420).
