DICOM is a rather complicated format. The DICOMINFO and DICOMREAD functions provide easy access to the data in DICOM-formatted files, but it can be difficult to know why and where the DICOM parser fails for improperly formatted files.

This file must be placed in the toolbox/images/medformats directory.

The DICOMDUMP utility presents a flat representation of the file with minimal data translation. For each attribute in the DICOM file it prints these values:

* Byte offset in the file
* Nesting depth (for sequences)
* Attribute group and element number
* Value representation (VR) code
* Data length in bytes
* Attribute name from the data dictionary
* A description of the data

Meta-information about the file and reading environment also appears:

* filename
* machine endian
* presence of required 0002 metadata
* information object UID and name
* transfer syntax UID and name
