The best summary I've seen so far is in the Medical Image FAQ. Check out
http://www.lib.ox.ac.uk/internet/news/faq/by_category.medica l-image-faq.html
which distills the highly elaborate DICOM system into digestible chunks. The bit you
want, the image storage format, is actually quite simple, and in part 2 or 3 of the
FAQ at that location.
I have a C program I wrote to do this job on Siemens Impact images that runs on a
Sun, but which somebody else got to work okay on HPs and an SGI. Source is at my
anonymous ftp site
medphys.dundee.ac.uk
login as anonymous, cd to pub, and it's called nemautil.c. Not the greatest software
ever written, but you might find it useful as a start for your own work: feel free to
use it as you will.
Pete.
