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.

Improving DICOM Support

Goals

Improve the support for DICOM in ITK

  1. DICOM communication layer (a.k.a. PACS support, DICOM Protocol)
  2. Streaming
  3. Read and write RTStruct
  4. type checking
  5. minimum DICOM skeleton generation

other requests from the ITK community

handling of higher order manifold as described in DICOM standard

handling of DICOMDIR format disk archives (navneeth)

  • 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
