http://areo.info/gimp/ may help. It needs to be updated to handle 16-
bit images now that GIMP can open them.

it’s also possible to use ImageMagick or g'mic to conver the VICAR/PDS
raw images to PNG, although you may need to use a hex (or octal) editor
to work out where the image starts exactly. You can also name the image
something.data and open it in GIMP, and the pop-up window will ask you
for an offest and the format.

Hope this helps,
