Application for viewing DICOM files

I have a CD with my full body scan images. The images are in DICOM files. What application would you recommend I use to see the images? :?:

A search of package names, descriptions, etc. did not find DICOM. ImageMagick did not recognize the file format.

FYI - An introduction to the DICOM single-file format

The Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standard was created by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) to aid the distribution and viewing of medical images, such as CT scans, MRIs, and ultrasound.

Aeskulap is the only app I know of. I don't think it's in the repo but you might ask one if the volunteers to package it for you or download the tarball yourself.

Here's some links:
