That's news to me.  

What modalities are you talking about?  I grant you that NM does weird
things (possibly US, too).  However for MR, CT, and PET, my reading of
DICOM suggests they all use the same (0020,0032) Image Position
(Patient) and (0020,0037) Image Orientation (Patient) attributes to
specify the location and orientation of the slices.

What ambiguity are you referring to?
