[IGSTK-Developers] IGSTK proposals for DICOM Working Group 24 (Julien can you help?)

[Stephen Aylward]

Spatial objects are an excellent concept for including in the standard.

You may also want to reference the chapter on them in the Insight Software
Guide, and several slides on them already exist in the ITK course material:
http://www.itk.org/CourseWare/Training/ClinicalApplications.pdf

Those slides might be particularly relevant to that group.
