title: Dr. Browse, a digital image file format Browser.
abstract: The emerging widespread adoption of the Digital Imaging Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standard will increase the demand for radiologic image transfer between radiologic image acquisition, archive, display and printing devices. Unfortunately, there are and will continue to be many devices that do not and will not support this standard, especially older radiologic equipment and devices from nonradiologic vendors. Determining the image file format characteristics of images from such equipment is often difficult, and done on an ad hoc basis. We have developed a software tool that assists users in determining the image file format parameters of unknown radiologic images.
