Version 1.6 of package Dicom has just been released in GNU ELPA. You can now find it in M-x list-packages RET.
Dicom describes itself as: =========================================================== DICOM viewer - Digital Imaging & Communications in Medicine =========================================================== More at https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/dicom.html ## 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. ## Recent NEWS: ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ DICOM.EL - NEWS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 1 Version 1.6 (2026-08-21) ══════════════════════════ • Documentation changes only. 2 Version 1.5 (2026-06-05) ══════════════════════════ • Introduce `dicom-convert.sh' script for DICOM to image and video conversion. 3 Version 1.4 (2026-05-19) ══════════════════════════ • Require Compat 31. 4 Version 1.3 (2026-01-17) ══════════════════════════ • Use `when-let*' instead of `when-let'. • Show date or series number in section title. 5 Version 1.2 (2025-11-15) ══════════════════════════ • `dicom-next', `dicom-previous': New commands to move to next or previous image. • `dicom-thumb-height': New option to configure thumbnail image pixel height. • Use `dcm2img' instead of deprecated `dcmj2pnm'. • Improve handling of DICOM files with invalid encoding.
