I am not familiar with the Dicom file format, but, according to the online help, "Export creates files in the DICOM file format as specified in Section PS 3.10 of the DICOM standard." http://documents.wolfram.com/mathematica/Built-inFunctions/GraphicsAndSound/ImportAndExport/AdditionalInformation/Export.html Now, the DICOM file format is much more than just an image file (it includes plenty of meta-information about the patient for instance), so I guess you would have to experiment various options before deciding whether Mathematica is suitable for the task. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Imaging_and_Communications_in_Medicine Regards, Jean-Marc
