== What is the aim of this package? ==
+
Digital communications in medicine (DICOM) is an information standard. This package deals with loading DICOM files. Originally created for image transfer, the standard now deals with an large range of medical data. In Matlab the functions are in the image package. In Octave they are separate: most image package users will not use dicom, and its dependency might be considered troublesome.

*Linux. Tested on OpenSuSE 11.4 and Ubuntu. No known issues. GDCM is required: see below.

*mingw
 
−
**Ben Lindner's Octave 3.2.4 and the mingw build environment (gcc 4.4.0): dicom package 0.1.1 does not build against this older version of the Octave API.
 
−
**Tatsuro/Nitzan's Octave 3.4.3 and mingw build environment (gcc 4.5.2): gdcm and dicom package build OK. Get segfault in ntdll.dll when one of the dicom*.oct files calls something from a gdcm*.dll.
 
−
**mxe-octave: dicom and gdcm distributed as part of the installed package.
 
−
*Cygwin: Panic when oct file called (or maybe when oct file uses gdcm dll). Need to try rebaseall

cmake and g++ are required. create a gdcmbin directory parallel to the gdcm-2-0 directory. Change to gdcmbin and then run cmake (Linux/cygwin).

On Cygwin gdcm 2.0.18 (and maybe some other versions) may have a problem with newer cmake. This kludge persuades cmake to define WIN32.

I don't have a Matlab license available. I would like to make this package compatible with the dicom functions in Matlab's image processing toolbox, as far as possible.

*What does dicominfo do when a tag is not in its dictionary. Answer: assign to a field like Private_3243_0010 (as Matlab)

*dicominfo: Items in sequences are not necessarily the same, so are stored as nested structs like dcm.RTDoseROISequence?.Item_1.DoseUnits?(as Matlab)
