How do I convert a DICOM image to a QPixmap in memory? I found an example of writing to disk in e.g. png ([Resample and Convert DICOM to Common Image Formats — SimpleITK 2.0rc2 documentation](https://simpleitk.readthedocs.io/en/master/link_DicomConvert_docs.html)), but looking to be able to complete in memory.
