maybe, you're right: Summarize all medical imaging related project in one
category and retire "Control of medical devices".

I personally used e.g. the "dicom3tools" which are great for converting old
proprietary image formats to DICOM. David Clunie the author of this toolkit
(and current editor of the DICOM standard) still works on it and makes
work-in-progress versions available as time permits. However, there are
obviously no "official" releases of this toolkit (any more).
Unfortunately, I cannot say anything about the Java implementations since I
never used them. Btw, the PixelMed toolkit has also been developed by David
Clunie. The other one I listed (dcm4che) has mainly been developed by Gunter
Zeilinger from TIANI (Vienna). Of course, there are other toolkits ...

With regard to the DICOM standard you should possibly also refer to the
website where the DICOM standard can be downloaded free of charge
(http://medical.nema.org/ or http://www.dclunie.com/dicom-status/status.html
which is more up-to-date) and to the DICOM newsgroup comp.protocols.dicom.
Maybe, it would be worth asking readers of the newsgroup to contribute to
your Debian-Med project. At least you could make it more "visible" in the
DICOM community :-)

Joerg
