> The only non-controversial item here is the > works-with::image:raster:dicom: This *is* controversial. DICOM has evolved into a standard for how to store, transmit, encode, operate on, manage and handle workflow of and with medical data, mainly imaging related.
"DICOM support" is a rather stretchable term, from implementing worklist support to RIS to simply being able to open and display DICOM packaged digital X ray pictures for display at peripheral (read community) doctors' desktops. I wonder whether a basic distinction between research-related packages and applied medicine should be done. Eg there's theoretic and applied physics. Same with medicine. The key question per package would be: Is it's main intended use practicising medicine or research in the field ? Some things (such as DICOM) may be considered cross-category as they are fairly neutral in intent.
