## Summary:

	     ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
	       DICOM.EL - DICOM VIEWER - DIGITAL IMAGING AND
			 COMMUNICATIONS IN MEDICINE
	     ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━


  DICOM stands for Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine. DICOM
  files are typically used for medical imaging with different modalities
  like US, CR, CT, MRI or PET. This package adds the ability to view such
  files in Emacs. The images and metadata are displayed in regular Emacs
  buffers. The package registers itself in `auto-mode-alist' and
  `magic-mode-alist' for `DICOMDIR' directory files and DICOM images (file
  extension `*.dcm' or `*.ima'). Furthermore the command `dicom-open'
  opens `DICOMDIR' directory files or DICOM image files interactively.
