Converting to JPEG would work, of course.
If you do link in libraries that can render DICOM, you can add direct
support to NSImage. You do this by implementing a subclass of
NSImageRep, DICOMImageRep. The minimal implementation of an
NSImageRep subclass is just the method -draw, which should draw into
the rectangle {{0,0},[self size]}. If you want methods like -[NSImage
initWithData:] and -[NSImage initByReferencingURL:] to work, you
should also implement +imageRepsWithData:, +canInitWithData:, and
+imageUnfilteredFileTypes. Basically, look at the NSImageRep class
docs. They describe which methods are useful to override.
Implementing an NSImageRep subclass is pretty similar to implementing
a custom view.
