+* Supported files
+
+The DICOM format is quite diverse. Since ~dcm2xml~ from the DICOM toolkit is
used
+to read the metadata, most uncorrupted DICOM files can be read. However the
+ImageMagick ~convert~ program cannot handle all images embedded in DICOM
files, in
+particular not some lossless JPEG files. Therefore it can happen that the DICOM
+viewer is unable to display such files. Help with improving the image
conversion
+process is welcome.
