DICOM is a file format used frequently in medical imaging (it is also a communications protocol). It has been used since the 80's, and is still widely used by modern medical equipment.

It has a well defined format: http://dicom.nema.org/dicom/2013/output/chtml/part10/chapter_7.html

This proposal is for the addiction of a check to imghdr module to detect DICOM files, with imghdr.what() and return 'dicom' if a dicom file is found.
