NAME
       Image::ExifTool::DICOM - Read DICOM and ACR-NEMA medical images

SYNOPSIS
       This module is used by Image::ExifTool

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

NOTES
       Values of retired elements in implicit VR format files are intepreted as strings, hence
       they may not be displayed properly.  This is because the specification no longer lists
       these VR's, but simply lists 'RET' for these elements.  (Doh. Who's idea was that? :P)

       Images compressed using the DICOM deflated transfer syntax will be decoded if
       Compress::Zlib is installed.

       No translation of special characters sets is done.
