.SH NAME
PDL::IO::Dicom \- a module for reading DICOM images.
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The PDL::IO::Dicom module enables reading 16\-bit gray level Dicom
images into PDL. As Dicom is an extremely complex format, this module
can unfortunately not handle all different image types included in the
DICOM standard. One common format that is currently not supported is
the Papyrus format.
