This is available at the Medical Image FAQ site, at...
http://www.lib.ox.ac.uk/internet/news/faq/by_category.medica l-image-faq.html
Parts 1 and 2 distill the several large volumes of information on the format
into a few succint, useful and digestable pages. This is the source I used
to crack the format into useable data.

My PV~Wave program for this is currently on the back burner and unlikely to
proceed for a while :-( However, I've done a quick hack in C that takes an
ACR-NEMA 2.0 image (previous version of DICOM 3) and dumps its header as
readable text and the image as 16 bit raw binary. I think it should work
for DICOM 3... I wrote it for a Sun, so if you want to run it on an Intel
platform you'll probably have to remove the byte swapping bits, and I do not
claim it's the World's Greatest And Best Written Utility, but you're welcome
to the source if you'd like it.
Hope that helps,
Pete.
