Improving DICOM Support

Goals

Unlike a standard dicom series (located in a single directory) the DICOMDIR format spreads files across directories
A reader that reads the DICOMDIR file and parses appropriate files & directories is desirable

- I had a chance to ask Lawrence Tarbox of Washington University your question
- about dicom testing.  Lawrence is a participant in CTK and a long-time dicom
- standards participant too (he's actually working on the hosted application
- specification, which we should ultimately be compatible with).
- For PACS-like testing, he pointed to two well established efforts, linked
- below.  Lawrence knows people involved in these and thinks they might be
- receptive to seeing integration with ctest and cdash if you want to pursue
- that.  In any case I think we can learn a lot from these efforts.
