NAME

6       Image::ExifTool::DICOM - Read DICOM and ACR-NEMA medical images
7

SYNOPSIS

9       This module is used by Image::ExifTool
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This module contains routines required by Image::ExifTool to extract
13       meta information from DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in
14       Medicine) DCM and ACR-NEMA (American College of Radiology - National
15       Electrical Manufacturer's Association) ACR medical images.
16

NOTES

18       Values of retired elements in implicit VR format files are intepreted
19       as strings, hence they may not be displayed properly.  This is because
20       the specification no longer lists these VR's, but simply lists 'RET'
21       for these elements.  (Doh. Who's idea was that? :P)
22
23       Images compressed using the DICOM deflated transfer syntax will be
24       decoded if Compress::Zlib is installed.
25
26       No translation of special characters sets is done.
