I'm wondering if anyone in the Drupal community has been pioneering support for the DICOM (medical) image format. From some preliminary googling, there seems to be a PHP Imagemagick library that can do conversions, etc. (http://www.nanodicom.org/documentation/faq)
I'm working on a program that needs to store/process these images for display in a web browser, as part of a web app geared towards facilitating Ultrasound reporting. Any help or info in this avenue would be greatly appreciated!

Nice work landing some medical industry work!
There are only 2 types of images vector or raster, raster is done in pixels and vector are done in lines by math. The nice thing about vector is they can go from large to small without pixelation. Vector graphics take more computer power is why games still use raster. Adobe uses vector is why You can make flash go up or down without pixelation. And when PHP draws an image it is making an vector drawing. You just need to add the DICOM PHP library to our image field.

O and Your next desktop will be a Super Computer so vector images are the future.

Did you get it?
Jesse, could your solve it? I am testing if I can use Drupal for developing a platform where doctors can share some patient cases in order to explain a specific treatment. We will upload some videos. It would be great if we could also upload DICOM images. Thank you!

Please take a look at the simple drupal module that supports DICOM(Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) file handling and visualization.
