If the images are in the dicom format (which seems to be the standard) gimp should 
open them, via drag and drop or right-click open-with.
Imagemagick should be able to as well, though I am not sure how quality they are in 
viewing them.


If you search for 'dicom' in  your package manager, there are a good number of tools 
that can be used for viewing, as well as converting. Many of these have been around 
for a long time, so I would assume that Lucid should have some these as well. I tried 
one, mricron, which did work with a sample image from the web, but by drag-and-drop 
as it did not 'see' the image in the file selection dialog. Alas, it is not available in 10.04. 
I am sure that the other ones available should work, perhaps there is one that is very 
good.--
