New page on my Blog on Free DICOM Tools

It's always difficult trying to find a free DICOM software tool to do the work you need done. Therefore, I just started a new page on my blog where I will keep a collection of possibly usefull DICOM tools with their corresponding links.

The first tools are already included. Just take a look!
