DICOM question

[jcupitt at gmail.com]

Hello Martin,

You could put them into an uncompressed zip64, that would be fast and
easy to deal with.

But of course many slide formats are multi-file, so I think a robust
system for handling them is probably a hard requirement for any slide
manager, unfortunately.

What I personally hate is the multi-file-format, which most (all?) vendors seem to have implemented, which is in essence one DICOM file per zoom level. In an environment where appr. 1,000 slides are scanned per day, image management just becomes messier (you cannot convince me otherwise 😉).
