This is the point where I tense the muscles in my hands into clawlike
gestures and laugh maniaclly, eyes glowing, brain melting... "it can't
be done! no! never!!!"

*ahem*

I spent a good couple of weeks trying to squeeze functionality out of
IDL 5.4 to be able to write DICOM files and my conclusion is that it
can't be done. Currently, there is plenty of support for *reading* DICOM
files but for writing them, you'll need an external package.

Rumour is that RSI will soon release an extra medical imaging package
for, amongst other things, writing to DICOM files. Like I said though,
at the moment, you'll have to use some sort of external package, like
the Offis DICOM toolkit:

http://www.offis.de/projekte/dicom/

I haven't been able to get the damn thing to compile yet (stupid SUN .h
files), but once I do I shall bore you all with my adventures of
succesfully combining IDL and DICOM.

Anyway, hope this hasn't put you off too much, best of luck with it
anyway :)

Cheers,
Bhautik
