THE ADVANCED 'ezDICOM' PROGRAM IS MUCH MORE SOPHISTICATED.

5. Known bugs & problems
========================

You can only display some of the DICOM images. 
There are many different DICOM dialects.
However, the reader should tell you why it cannot view files.
Current limitations:
 - Does not read encapsulated files
 -  Does not display colour images (contact Chris Rorden for a more sophisticated viewer]
 - The 12-bit and big-endian conversion is largely untested
