NAME

       PDL::IO::Dicom - a module for reading DICOM images.

DESCRIPTION

       The PDL::IO::Dicom module enables reading 16-bit gray level Dicom images into PDL. As
       Dicom is an extremely complex format, this module can unfortunately not handle all
       different image types included in the DICOM standard. One common format that is currently
       not supported is the Papyrus format.

USAGE

           use PDL;
           use PDL::IO::Dicom;

           $img = rdcm("image.dcm");
