DICOMscopeis a free DICOM viewer which can display uncompressed, monochrome DICOM images from all modalities and which supports monitor calibration according to DICOM part 14 as well as presentation states. DICOMscope offers a print client (DICOM Basic Grayscale Print Management) which also implements the optional Presentation LUT SOP Class. The development of this prototype was commissioned by the "Committee for the Advancement of DICOM" and demonstrated at the European Congress of Radiology ECR 1999. An enhanced version was developed for the "DICOM Display Consistency Demonstration" at RSNA InfoRAD 1999. The current release 3.5.1 has been demonstrated at ECR 2001 and contains numerous extensions, including a print server, support for encrypted DICOM communication, digital signatures and structured reporting.
Aeskulap is a medical image viewer. It is able to load a series of special images stored in the DICOM format for review. Additionally Aeskulap is able to query and fetch DICOM images from archive nodes (also called PACS) over the network. The goal of this project is to create a full open source replacement for commercially available DICOM viewers. Aeskulap is based on gtkmm, glademm and gconfmm and designed to run under Linux. Ports of these packages are available for different platforms. It should be quite easy to port Aeskulap to any platform were these packages are available.
Granted, this may not be useful as other dicom viewers (answered by others here) have different tools available for examining or measuring things on the images. If you only want to open and look at the raw photos - eg, of a personal exam - then a simple batch convert may work for you:
InVesalius generates 3D medical imaging reconstructions based on a sequence of 2D DICOM files acquired with CT or MRI equipments. InVesalius is internationalized (currently available in English, Portuguese, French, German, Spanish, Catalan, Romanian, Korean, Italian and Czech), multi-platform (GNU Linux, Windows and MacOS) and provides several tools:
Hi,
Thanks in advance. I had problems with the Gnome version, namely that Gnome sucks. So I just installed Cinnamon and it seems like there were more of a software selection than with this community / Cinnamon installation ? I would like to enable a bunch of repos and options if possible
Aeskulap works, not great, but ok. I will try Weasis.
If you need a viewer and know how to use WINE, microdicom and Radiant Dicom viewer are much better and free. I just do not know how to use Wine yet on this Distro. I use it and those viewers on Peppermint Linux.
This is an example of a code of vtk to read a jpeg image or dicom file ,when I run these projects, i can zomm the image with the right button of the mousehowever, in the code there is nothing in a direct relation with zoom or something like this, so there is something inside the classescan anyone tell me how vtk can do this zoom because i need it in another project ?
Yes, certainly there is code inside the other classes. vtkRenderWindow, vtkRenderWindowInteractor, and vtkRenderer are all referenced by that sample. You can trace down the zooming code through those.
After sorting the list of DICOM slices according to the projections in the slice direction (using ImageOrientationPatient and ImagePositionPatient) I get an order that I can verify with the SliceLocation header (So I know I have ordered them correctly to form a consistent volume).
So now, I take the ImagePositionPatient header of the first slice in the volume and I have
[-57, -65, 24] which corresponds to the information I get for the first slice of the volume when I check with HOROS (So basically I confirm again that I have the correct order)
I think I answered my own question. Notice the position of the sliders in the two tools. The first slide in HOURUS corresponds to the last slide in Slicer. I checked and the values actually match, so it is a matter of how I order the stack of slices. Horus orders the stack in the superior->inferior order where as slicer goes inferior->superior in the coronal slice.
Question 2: why do I get [57, 82, -27] in Slicer and I get [- 57, - 82, 27] for the ImagePositionPatient header in the correct slice? (correct as in the matching the slice in both tools)
In general, slice indexes do not matter and may be quite random for certain imaging modalities and 4D sequences. So, most 3D software (which operates on reconstructed 3D volumes instead of just showing 2D image slices) do not keep track of which pixel generated from which combination of slices. If you need to find slice index corresponding to a coordinate then you have to go back to the Slicer DICOM database and search the slice based on image position patient and image orientation tags.
I am writing my own code to convert DICOM to NRRD, the question I have at hand right now is to generate the appropriate space dimensions tag in the NRRD header from the information contained in the Image OrientationPatient and ImagePositionPatient in DICOM.
I think I am almost done with this problem. I need to know what was the first slice in the DICOM series (and yes I can see that they are not ordered and the lexicographic order of the series does not guarantee the order in the volume). So I think I already solved it: I take the ImagePositionPatient of the first slice (after ordering the slices in space) as the value for the space dimensions NRRD header.
Concerning the coordinate system web site, can you test again - I tried chrome, safari, firefox, (all on mac) and edge on windows and it looks fine. There was a mathml problem a couple weeks ago but it should be fixed now.
Also following up on the ITK/Slicer etc DICOM reading, since there are so many possible ways to map DICOM data to things of interest in Slicer (not just image data, but reports, segmentations, transforms, etc) we have a Plugin mechanism were different readers can take responsibility for different data.
Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) is both a communications protocol and a file format, which means it can store medical information, such as ultrasound and MRI images, along with a patient's information, all in one file. The files usually have the .dcm or .dicom extension. This is incredibly useful for medical professionals, but really complicated for your average person (or even your average computer) to understand.
Medical images and related personal information must be treated with both sensitivity and privacy. The information is seen as a treasure trove for criminals and should always be protected. DICOM is not secure, but can easily be used in secure environments. You just need to be aware that if you share DICOM files with people, they may also include personal details about you and your medical notes.
In the world of medical imaging, where Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) solutions are vital for the storage and management of critical medical imaging data, high availability, even in smaller-scale environments, is imperative.
If this method is used, the reader will try to find all the DICOM files in a directory. It will select the subset corresponding to the first series UID it stumbles across and it will try to build an ordered volume from them based on the slice number. The volume building will be upgraded to something more sophisticated in the future.

Second, is there a rigorous way to handle such an occurrence? Currently, my approach has been to read in each .dcm file independently, extract the origins with GetOrigin(), order by origin values, identify duplicates, and randomly select one slice among the duplicates. This leaves with with a new list of files that only
contain unique slices. I can then use this set of files to read in the whole series (and write out to NRRD for other purposes).
I am under the impression that SimpleITK uses the difference in the Z-dimension for the first two slices (in physical order) to determine the slice thickness/spacing. So when the first slice is duplicated, the difference is zero, and SimpleITK defaults to unit-spacing.
When the duplicate slices are anywhere else in the stack, it just breaks SimpleITK from ordering the series properly, and the result is an image with slices ordered according to file name, rather than slice location.
These are truly strange datasets. Are the spatially duplicate images really duplicates? They occupy the same region in space and their intensity content is the same? If the intensity content is different then you have two scans that for some reason share study-series IDs which is worrisome as you need to use some other mechanism to separate them.
Most likely the extra slices are localizers. They are really annoying and not straightforward to filter out. Unfortunately, these series are valid DICOM data sets, so every reader must recognize and handle them. What we ended up doing in 3D Slicer is to split the series based on image type and by default not load a sub-series that contains a single slice if there is another subseries that contains many slices.
