=== What is the aim of this package? ===
DICOM ('Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine') is a standard for transfering and storing medical data. See http://medical.nema.org/ for more info.
This package provides functions to read and (eventually) write DICOM files. The functions in the package are intended to have similar usage as
the dicom functions in the Matlab Image Processing Toolbox.
