Yes. It is true that there is some DICOM support in ImageMagick. However, in my experience it is not very reliable. For some images it works, for other images it simply doesn't. I even came across an ImageMagick version (can't remember which one it was) where DICOM support was completely broken, i.e. it simply failed to process any DICOM files. ImageMagick has certainly excellent tools for most popular image file formats, but from my experience I wouldn't recommend it for serious tasks when it comes to DICOM. There are other tools (like (x)medcon, David Clunie's dicom3tools or dcmtk) that have always done a much better job on DICOM files for me. (I haven't checked the latest ImageMagick version, though.)
