"Two radiologists recently developed open-source software, called OsiriX, to display and manipulate complex medical images on the popular portable devices called iPods. "
Check the screenshots on their homepage at http://homepage.mac.com/rossetantoine/osirix/Index2.html - wow!
I wonder how they address patient privacy issues when storing lots of images on oft-stolen iPods? Presumably the patient identifiers associated with the images, if not the images themselves, are encrypted?
This is not part of the Dicom specification. It could be done, but then the images wouldn't be Dicom conformant. But then the viewer isn't Dicom compliant either.
