+### Description
+
+This example demonstates how to read a series of DICOM images and how to scroll with the mousewheel or the up/down keys through all slices.
+Sample data are available as a zipped file (977 kB, 40 slices): <a id="raw-url" href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kitware/vtk-examples/gh-pages/src/SupplementaryData/Cxx/IO/DicomTestImages.zip">DicomTestImages</a>
