• Review layout of the widget.
• Consider how DWI and DICOMRT should integrate with DICOM module
• Review the Slicer Data Bundle (lollipop)
• DICOM RT
• DICOM SR
• Consider how 4D data should integrate ?
• In general, modules should be able to access all DICOM fields of a loaded image
• Introduce DICOM import plugin modules? (modules that are notified when the user selects a DICOM file for loading and can extract various objects: images, models, etc.)
• Consider how DICOM module mechanisms could be used by the CLI modules for accessing/parsing DICOM studies?
