According to its website it supports viewing DICOM data

along by patients but is more of a stop-gap measure.
Looking at the screenshots, yes, we DO want AMIDE.

As far as I can judge from the AMIDE website, it is superior
to what xmedcon can offer.

If anyone is interested in doing any real work I'd be happy
to give my thoughts.
