Re: archiving DICOM imagery for human consumption

 Paranoid me would still keep original DICOMs around.

I'll keep the DVDs, but I do not want to store 12Gb of data on
backup media.

 And for easy visualization and processing (e.g. you could create
 cool 3D meshes of your brain) - convert to NIfTI
 
 apt-get install dicomnifti

Okay, nice! Can you recommend a good viewer? I hope I am not
stretching anyone's patience here. ;)

You'll want to think real hard what it is that you want to achieve:

You want a few cool images to keep around for showing off ?

- Convert to png and keep somewhere in a home dir.

You want the representative images easily available for your
doctor to look at ?

- You'll need to find out what representative means to a doctor.
- You'll want the full contextual DICOM data for those.
- You'll want a Windows viewer runnable on-access from a CD.

I guess :-)

it is quite difficult since you would not be believe but we have quite a
few of them in Debian (neuroimaging was mentioned in squeeze release
notes for a reason): e.g. look at 

http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/imaging

I personally use fslview for having a quick glance over images. Mricron
is cool in that it is probably the only project in Debian written in
Free Pascal (builds and runs very fast ;) although with 'online'
renderer you can stretch the limits)... etc

Well, of those Ginko-cadx is the closest to what I would
want to use in daily practice.

OsiriX is, too, but that's only available for MacOSX, AFAICT.
