Java DICOM Viewer
Chuck McCrobie
I am searching for a Java DICOM viewer _APPLET_ that can be started from
a web page.
I am aware of RemotEye, ImageJ, and Dr. Clunie's DicomViewer. I've seen
the Japanese DICOM Viewer (the name escapes me at the moment).
I sorta like RemotEye, but fear the price is a bit steep, especially
since its priced in Euros. There're a couple of things I would change
about it, though.
Is anyone aware of a KPACS work-alike that is a Java _APPLET_,
preferably _BSD_ licensed, and preferably open-source?
I should mention this is for a commercial product where price is a
consideration. If push comes to shove, I'll quote the price of the
viewer with the software. In the end, I'll write my own viewer if I
have to, but I am aware of the effort involved, not to mention all the
vendor particularities...
Perhaps NEMA would like to fund a reference implementation of a DICOM
Viewer in Java...
Thanks in advance,
Chuck McCrobie

We have some experience with Radscaper
("http://www.divinev.com/radscaper/") and it seems to be a very
versatile and complete product, yet it's pricing went up significantly
last year and you have to pay on a per-server basis.
Then there's EViewBox/JDICOMViewer
("http://eviewbox.sourceforge.net/DicomApplet.html"), but I don't have
experience with it.
The Japanese viewer you mention can be found at
("http://mars.elcom.nitech.ac.jp/dicom/index-e.html"), but it seems to
be unmaintained.
Then there's RAIM-Java, but I never found an "official" web page or
company. It seems to be from spain and from some hospital there and,
unfortunately, unmaintained.
("http://www.cspt.es/webcsptangles/cimd/Productes/raim_java.htm").
The D-View project ("http://softlab.technion.ac.il/project/Dview/html/")
seems to be quite outdated as well.
Stratos-Viewer ("http://sourceforge.net/projects/stratos-viewer") seems
to convert and display DICOMs using Flash.
Oviyam ("http://skshospital.net/oviyam/") seems to be server-based
(JBOSS), but I never had a closer look at it.
In a few words: I'm also still looking for a decent applet-based DICOM
Viewer. So far we found Radscaper to be the most modern and best
maintained one, but it's a commercial software and not really
inexpensive (from a universities' institute point of view).
Hope this helps. Cheers,

something.
I'll try out RAIM-Java; haven't heard of this one.

Nope...I spent quite a few hours grazing the web for DICOM viewer
applets and this list is all I came up with.
I think there's quite a "market" out there for such an application, and
we did already think of implementing one ourselves (since we have need
for such a thing in at least two projects), yet unfortunately I don't
have the resources right now.

are both written in C++ but wrap in Java language. Both libraries are
open source under a new-style BSD license

issue is that the Java must be in an applet started from a web page -
without pre-installation on PC's/Linux/FreeBSD/whatever Java box.
Its been awhile, but can an applet reference a non-installed .dll (or
.so) also downloaded from the web site?
Does the above imply a pure Java-based applet? IIRC, it does.
I understand the complexity and enormity of the work involved and
toolkits like VTK and GDCM / Pixelmed / dcm4che / dcmtk (and others)
will go a long way in helping. That's the reason I searching for
something suitable now - attempting to leverage the wide-ranging
knowledge of the newsgroup to make sure I haven't missed some Java
applet DICOM viewer that already exists. (Perhaps I need to break open
my super-secret giant piggy-bank that even I didn't know existed for
some of the commercial Java viewers - RemotEye and Radscaper...)
Unfortunately, such an undertaking is currently outside the scope of my
project. Next up is HL7 interfacing with Mirth and IHE conformance as
an Image Manager / Image Archive.
Is anyone here interested in making an Efilm / KPACS
work-alike/look-alike based on Dr. Clunie's DicomViewer or other
suitable Java based DICOM viewer? (No offense is intended to the
wonderful work Dr. Clunie has done.)
Certainly an undertaking such as this is best suited as a collaborative
project, perhaps with _all_ code submitted / released in new-style BSD
license or even a closed-source for the benefit of collaborators, etc...
Happy days and Cheers and all that - now tuning out to dream land...

You can :

But indeed that was something I did not realize :(
I guess a pure java environment will be easier.

could you please share the procedure to integrate radscaper to PHP web program.
do you have some help or demo files ?
Thanks

At the moment weasis-pacs-connector allow to launch Weasis in an external frame. If you want to launch the viewer into a web browser, see this example.
It is possible to combine the applet call with weasis-pacs-connector to get the manifest containing the image references:

To get general information for calling the viewer from third-party application look at this page.
