Scott,

According to the IDL 5.2 documentation, version 3.0 of the ACR-NEMA
standard is known as the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine
(DICOM) format. IDL 5.2 includes an object-oriented API to read the
DICOM format. Check the online help:

IDL> ? dicom

An example DICOM file is included in the IDL 5.2 example datasets:

IDL> file = filepath('mr_knee.dcm', subdir='examples/data')
IDL> image = read_dicom(file)
IDL> tvscl, image

Cheers,
Liam.
