DICOM parser in Go

This is a fork of github.com/gillesdemey/go-dicom. Changes are:

TODO:

Implement mixed-coding-system files more properly. We currently botch patient-name (PN) elements that mixes coding systems.
A multi-image file. Functionality is almost there, but I haven't had time to complete it.
Native pixeldata format. It'll be parsed as just []byte.

See doc.go for usage. dicomutil contains a sample program that dumps DICOM elements in a file.

I'd like to thank my friend Seppe Stas for helping me get through the horrific DICOM image specification and some of the harder parts of the parser.

Some more inspiration and helpful resource that brought this library to life (in no particular order):
