description: I am currently faced with the problem how to import MRI images from a Siemens-vision scanner formatted according to the DICOM3 standard into a IDL program for further processing. If anyone was faced with the same problem and can provide me with information other than the basic DICOM documentation i would be grateful. P.S. by coincidence this request was initially posted under the identity of Frank Besold. If you want to reply, please use: weilke@nk-i.med.uni-muenchen.de

description: I read the MR (Siemens Vision) images by a brut-force method but it works fine. Visions 1.5 T scanner images have a header of 6144 bytes. point_lun,inunit,6144 read,data ; your 2D matrix typically 256x256 Note these are 16 bit/pixel images (where only 12 are actually used) To extract imaging parameters TI, TE, TR and FOV, I pass the header through a parser (after converting each byte to a character) and it seems to work fine.
