This follows from the recent thread on the help-octave list:
http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/dicom-support-tt2122699.html#a2122699

I don't think image is the correct package for it. I realise that
matlab has the functions in its image processing toolbox. However,
dicom does mauch more that store images. My current motivation is that
I wish to extract dose-volume histograms from RTDose and geometric
imformation regarding collimators from RTPlan. I guess that mathworks
have bunged it in with image processing in order to keep the number of
packages small. Does octave have a similar requirement?

If not I suggest dicom support could go in its own package, called
"dicom". it would have (at least)
dicominfo: header and metadata to struct
dicomread: image from file to matrix
dicomdict: tell the other functions to use a different dicom
dictionary (or return path to current).
dicomwrite
dicomlookup: use dictionary to get keyword from tag (and reverse)

and then maybe:
dicomanon
