raw images

Hi list users,

Could I have some help on the following problem please.

I have some DICOM images. I want to perform certain operations on them. My
program works better with raw images rather than DICOM so I converted these
DICOM series to a raw image using Image J.

I know that raw is just a string of binary. But, since the raw image I obtain
contains both the image and the header information from the DICOM  series,
I am confused as to how I may (i.e. how my program will) be able to distinguish
the image from the header, like, for eg:- how many bytes will be alloted to
the header and what all information will be present in the header(all the
information from the DICOM or only certain significant information?) and
also whether the header is followed by the image or vice-versa.

If I read the raw image using Image J's raw image reader I see that
the original
series is reproduced. How can I achieve this? Essentially I want to read in
the input raw image and separate the header and the image into 2 different
files.

Thanks a lot people
Lisa
