Thank you for your reply.

Yes, the original data comes from a VISION scanner.  However, the files
I want to open are then post-processed in another software package that
outputs the ima format.  So even access to the original DICOMs would not
help me here.

However, I looked at the web site you mentioned and was able to open a
sequence of ima file using: File->Import->Raw [big endian; 16bit
unsigned;offset to first image: 6144; open all files in folder].  It
seems to work OK - I will take a closer look at the images to be sure.

Thank you for your help!
