DICOM Testdata Resource Page

Those of you who implement 3D visualisation algorithms for DICOM medical image data, might find this page useful. I have created a set of small volumes showing different synthetic objects. The content is rather simple, so you may recognise bugs in your visualisation algorithm at a glance.

All data files have a unique Series Instance UID and contain full Image Position Patient and Image Orientation Patient tags and are aligned as transversal cutplanes, e. g.:
