=O Those are extremely well know file format in the medical imaging world. Next time you go get an MRI / CT, ask for your DICOM CD with your images (in most countries, you do not get films anymore). ACR-NEMA used to refer to the previous standard (before DICOM 1993). And SPI is a proprietary format (used by Siemens/Philips) in pre 1993 PACS system. -- Mathieu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
