Hello all,

The boss wants me to read DICOS format files, which are supposedly
derived from DICOM files. I've used the IDL routines and some home
brewed stuff to read DICOMs, but I can't fnd any useful information on
DICOS. Does anyone have any experience with this stuff, or know the
location of information/routines?

Thanks very much, I appreciate the help alot.

I've read lots of DICOM with IDL - Can you share a sample image?

Probably not. The information will likely have some sort of low-grade
confidential classification.
I was just hoping someone could say, sure, the DICOM read/write
programs in IDL will work fine for DICOS, or else have some insight
into the differences.

Thanks,

If they really conform to the DICOM standard, then they can likely be
readable. You will likely find that the DICOM data dictionary
probably doesn't include DICOS tags, so everything that is specific to
DICOS and not in DICOM will look like a private tag. I'd suggest you
give it a try with IDLffDICOM and see how it works.
