Hi, eveybody!

The recent version of gimp (at least the one I have : version 2.2.8) are 
able to display 'simple' dicom images.
(simple : no oddity in the header, uncompressed, no 'Palette Color', etc).

If we gdcmRead()/gdcmWrite() - use Example/ReWrite executable- any of 
these gimp compatible image, we get a 'gimp breaker' image.
Unpleasant, isn't it ?
(I can't find out what gimp disagrees on :-( )

-> Good news : XMedCon opens this (gdcm rewritten) images without 
trouble , so does ImageJ (from NIH)
