[Alpine-info] XRay Files Require Dicom CDs?

XRay Files Require Dicom CDs?

Pine/Alpine does not alter attached files as far as I know.  (Maybe
some of the GUI programs do.)  Yet even if so, files can be packaged
to avoid such a problem.

However, I am told digital xray files (medical xrays) cannot be sent
via inet.  Something not compatible.  What & Why?

I am told a "Dicom" CD (whatever) must be mailed for xray files?
Is somebody else aware of this?

I believe any file can be sent via inet email attachment without
alteration if packaged correctly.  Certainly any file should be
transferable via inet somehow, FTP or....

Is there a twist to this I missed?
