Questions and postings pertaining to the development of ImageMagick, feature enhancements, and ImageMagick internals. ImageMagick source code and algorithms are discussed here. Usage questions which are too arcane for the normal user list should also be posted here.
You can certainly implement RLE if you want and hopefully contribute the patches back to the ImageMagick distribution. However, you could also post a URL to one or two RLE-compressed DICOM images and we will look into supporting it. We have code for PACKBITs so it should be a simple patch.
