Perhaps I am simply mislead for I am thinking that DICOM is to medical imaging what RAW is to professional photography: a lot of additional information that is not really needed when all one wants are the data in some sort of presentable fashion. As MRI and CT scans essentially give 3-dimensional information, a planar projection into something like png will obviously not cut the mustard. So hence my question should have been something in the direction of: to what format can I convert these 12Gb DICOM data so that I, as amateur spectator can still "surf my brain (and knee and wrists)", but not keep any information around that I won't ever use (nor anyone else ever will). Am I making myself clearer now?
