Remarks

The normal policy adopted by DicomObjects for the handling of compressed images is to decompress frames only when necessary, and to keep the decompressed versions only for as long as is necessary for display or transmission, thereby minimising image load times, and memory use. This behaviour is not, however, always appropriate, especially when cine sequences are shown, or where modifications need to be made to the image. When this method is called, all frames are decompressed and held in RAM, replacing the original compressed version, thereby greatly speeding subsequent display, though needing much more memory.
