Hi @MartinBellehumeur -

You can use the NCI Imaging Data Commons (IDC) DICOMweb endpoint for testing and light production uses. It is a Google Healthcare DICOM Store with a small proxy in front that will let you do several GB a day before cutting you off.

It should be working with VolView: [IDC Portal is now integrated with VolView | Stephen Aylward](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/stephenaylward_reason-147-for-developing-and-using-open-share-7136398909802758144-PZuE/)
