I too am a humble physicist. I have not been able to get the dicom package working under windows. I would like to myself. I have tried various windows builds of octave (mingw, cygwin, maybe msvc (I can't remember). I can get it to compile with no warnings, but then I get a crash whenever I call a dicom* function. The simplest thing would be to use linux, where it should be relatively simple.
