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.
