	No, you were correct. This is the plainest encoding available.
You image data itself should be the last 131072 bytes of the file (for
256x256 images encoded over 2 bytes per voxel.)

	A dicom header or two would be useful. If you have dicom3_to_minc.pl,
you might also have dicom.pl which can dump the header. From the error
message generated from dicom3_to_minc.pl, it seems it can't figure out
the bit depeth and bit encoding of the image but it's hard to tell without
an header.

	OsiriX and eFilm both have options to show the dicom header,
I think.
