[Ctk-developers] CTK Dashboard: A DICOM data collection for testing ?

[Bill Lorensen]

Folks,

I have a set of 6 dicom series that scan the same phantom in six
different directions. I'll be happy to contribute these. They were
created a few years ago at GE Research as part of our NA-MIC work.
They are useful to see if your code properly handles the direction
cosines contained in the dicom header.
