title: Is there a way to compress DICOM data?
body: <p>Say, I have a sequence on <code>.dicom</code> files in a folder. The cumulative size is about 100 Mb. It's a lot of data. I tried to convert data into <code>.nrrd</code> and <code>.nii</code>, but those files had the summary size of the converted <code>.dicom</code> files (which is fairly predictable, though <code>.nrrd</code> was compressed with <code>gzip</code>). I'd like to know, if there a file format that would give me far less sizes, or just a way to solve that. Perhaps, <code>.vtk</code>, or something else (not sure it qould work). Thanks in advance.</p>
