Just a little follow-up to my last post:

Yes, the help files in IDL 5.4 *do* list DICOM as one of the output
file-types for write_image.

"..
Format

A scalar string containing the name of the file format to write. The
following are the supported formats:

ï¿½ BMP
ï¿½ JPEG
ï¿½ PNG
ï¿½ PPM
ï¿½ SRF
ï¿½ TIFF
ï¿½ DICOM
.."

However this bit of documentation is a bit of a furphy [1], as
illustrated below:

MOO> foo=replicate(1.0,100,100)
MOO> write_image,'foo.dcm', 'DICOM',foo

% Compiled module: WRITE_IMAGE.
% WRITE_IMAGE: Unknown image file format: DICOM
% Error occurred at: WRITE_IMAGE 142
/usr/local/rsi/idl_5.4/lib/write_image.pro
% $MAIN$
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$

For this, RSI should be smothered in peanut oil and liberally beaten
with a wet herring.

Cheers,
Bhautik
