#2Just opened some DICOM-Files with notepad. Found patient data (name) and diagnostic parameters encoded as ASCII art. Funny.

Looks kinda like ASCI-Art used to represent a greyscale image data area, like it could be so they can put "notes data" and someone got the idea to just scan this "notes" and figured ascii-art was the easy way since it was black and white info anyway.
Just a hunch though... If theres a specific reason I'd love to know too.
