  code that is why this is not a complete DICOM implementation.

+Pkg-Description: convert scanned electrocardiograms into PNG format
+ This program is designed to convert scanned 12-lead
+ electrocardiograms into PNG format and a web-friendly image size. It
+ assumes that the electrocardiogram (ECG) is printed with a black line
+ on white paper with a red grid.
+ .
+ The problems this program is designed to solve are (1) an ECG scanned
+ at relatively high resolution (300 to 600 dots per inch) imposes a
+ substantial load on the web browser because it contains about 6
+ million pixels which may require 18 to 24 MB of RAM to store for
+ display. Also, (2) typical scanners convert a clean paper ECG into a
+ multitude of colors, include green and blue. The resulting file
+ cannot be compressed efficiently because it does not contain as much
+ redundancy, and thus takes more time to transmit over low-speed
+ network connections.
+ .
+ Remark: The homepage of this project that used to be at
+ http://www.cardiothink.com/downloads/ecg2png/ vanished but the source
