  dicom2 is a simple command-line driven program which allows you to
  convert images from the DICOM file format to various other formats,
  while optionally performing some rudimentary image processing tasks:
  
  - reads non-encapsulated syntax of DICOM file, or raw data-sets
  (ACR/NEMA).
  - converts to BMP, TARGA, raw, text, DICOM.
  - renames destination files using user-defined pattern based on
  DICOM tags (ex: image time, number, acquisition, patient name,
  rank of the file, etc.).
  - accumulates set of files into one image (to generate masks).
  - implements some image processing functions:
  masking, cropping, halving, flipping, windowing.

  • in UK:
    
    UK registered companies already have a registration number, and
    appending this to "1.2.826.0.n" gives a unique root, where n depends on
    where in the UK one is:
    
    If the company registration number is XYZ, then the UID root is
    - "1.2.826.0.1.XYZ" - England and Wales
    - "1.2.826.0.2.XYZ" - Scotland
    - "1.2.826.0.3.XYZ" - Northern Ireland
    
    
  • Free (anywhere):
    
    Dave Harvey of Medical Connections (in the UK) has kindly offered to sub-delegate ranges of
    his own root to anyone who needs one. See his web page at:
    
    http://www.medicalconnections.co.uk/html/free_uid.html
    
    
  • Free (anywhere):
    
    To use SNMP one needs an Enterpise UID assigned by IANA, which is free and may also be used for any other purpose that requires a UID root.

  • HL7 OID Registry - free for HL7 members (anywhere):
    
    Since HL7 V3 makes use of the UID concept (they call them OIDs), not only do they define pre-defined OIDs for all sorts of useful things like coding schemes, they also provide an OID registry for users to get OIDs for their objects (not entirely clear what the rules are for then using this as one's own root, but seems to be OK):
