What is the proper way to display a series with different ImageType
( (0008,0008)? Often in CT, there are different image types within a
Series (such as [DERIVED\PRIMARY\AXIAL] and [DERIVED\PRIMARY
\LOCALIZER]). I have seen DICOM viewers that split those image types
into two separate series, and while other DICOM viewers would not
split them into different series.

Which way is the right way to do it?

A Series is defined by having the same instance of the Series Modules,
hence having the same value in Attribute (0020,000E) Series Instance UID.
The Modality should decide (and obey the DICOM rules) which Instance to
put in a Series - generally, a Series may never contain Instances of
different Modalities, other rules may be given in the IOD (cannot recall
them all straight from my head right now...)

Said that, you are always on the safe side just to evaluate the Series
Instance UID.
Just my EUR 0.02 ;o)
