<p>We would be happy to host all the data on MIDAS.

<br>> That sound wonderful!
<br>>
<br>> Also, experience tell me that having sample images from multiple scanners
<br>> (different ages or versions) from multiple vendors is useful. Even though
<br>> everyone uses the DICOM standard, sometimes people utilize different
<br>> combinations of features from the standard. (This is a nice way of saying not
<br>> everyone interprets the standard in compatible fashions.) So having lots of
<br>> variations is helpful in ferreting out potential problems during testing. Does
<br>> anyone have such a collection? If not, I can ask Steve Moore when he gets back
<br>> if some of the data collected during the IHE Connectathons could be used.

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