I also find of help having that info in the long description, and even part
in the short one, so people is aware if they are not potential users.
Something like 

Description: DICOM medical image files manipulation and conversion tools.

Command line utilities for creating, modifying, dumping and validating
files of DICOM attributes. Support conversion of some proprietary medical
image formats to DICOM. Can handle older ACR/NEMA format data, and some
proprietary versions of that such as SPI.
