MicroDicom DICOM Viewer can export DICOM images to common graphics formats and videos. Our software can be used to convert JPEG, BMP images to DICOM images. Images can be sent to the Windows clipboard and after that paste in other applications.
We offer MicroDicom DICOM Viewer CD/DVD/USB version. This autorun package can be burned with DICOM images together on CD/DVD/USB or other external storage. Our software runs from CD/DVD on other computers without installation. Users can insert a CD and autorun will start our viewer and show images that are written on the CD. It is suited for patient CD/DVD to show DICOM images without installation.
The MPR available in MicroDicom DICOM viewer enables users to reconstruct images in various planes, including coronal, sagittal, axial, or oblique, depending on the orientation of the base images. This allows for a more comprehensive visualization of anatomical structures and enhances the diagnostic capabilities.
The local database functionality enables the import of DICOM studies from various sources such as CD/DVD discs, USB flash drives, local and network folders allowing you to store these studies directly on your local hard drive for easy future access. Additionally, you can utilize the database to organize and swiftly locate studies within your collection of DICOM files stored on the hard drive.
Series from different studies or examinations can be compared in our viewer. Images can be displayed side by side with splitting the view. You can compare images from same or different series. The images are synchronized by zoom and pan, slice position and windowing. Cross-reference lines are used to identify the relative anatomical position. Scout or reference lines indicate the position and width of each cross-sectional image.
You can use MicroDicom DICOM Viewer as PACS (Picture archiving and communication system) client. Our viewer easily can query and retrieve images from PACS locations, by using following DICOM protocols: C-ECHO, C-FIND, C-MOVE, C-GET, C-STORE. Also, you can send DICOM images to PACS servers or other computers.
Can easily print DICOM images with MicroDicom. You have to choose images from a series, how much image per page and print. Also, you can hide sensitive information from the images before printing as name of patient, age, etc.
Windows shell extension make easier viewing of DICOM files in File Explorer. You can easily display DICOM images in File Explorer just like other image formats as JPEG, BMP, ... Simply, you need to open File explorer to view medical images. You can view DICOM tags in File Explorer on mouse over and copy image to clipboard.
I am working with CT scans of metatarsals and I am looking at the anterior to posterior configuration (cross section of diaphysis). But when I go to save the view as a DICOM, it just ends up saving a DICOM file of the inferior to superior view (like a normal CT scan). Any help with saving the select A/P view, as well as figuring out what exact slice I am looking at in the data set.
Thank you!
Why would you like to export the resliced image to DICOM? Would you like to do some additional processing in some other software? Why would you like to export to DICOM format instead of a simpler research format, such as NRRD?
No, I am importing a normal CT scan. Then I was looking at trying to save the anterior/posterior view of the foot to use for a bone model. But it does not seem like 3D Slicer allows me to save any variations of the CT scan, other than the original superior/inferior as a DICOM
I cant seem to get my cross sectional slice. Is there any other way of going about selecting a specific slice? I tried to use your method but cant seem to get it. This is my first time working with 3D Slicer and I am just trying to import a normal CT, and export a single slice of the A/P view.
What you want to do is highly unusual (why would you need to extract a single slice, why it is a problem that there are other slices in the image; why that software cannot reslice the volume; why a bone modeling software care about how the voxel grid is oriented - it should work in physical space), so the soution may not be very easy or convenient.
I figured out how to extract the view that I want as DICOM files. Where in 3D slicer though does it tell you what # slice you are looking at? Rather than exporting a single slice, I have exported the entire A/P view, but now I have to choose my slice of interest for the bone model, but I do not see anywhere in 3D Slicer what the exact number slice I am looking at in the CT file. The entire CT is 512 slices so I am just trying to figure out where I can see what number slice I am looking at.
Slicer performs all analysis and visualizations in 3D, so image data is not organized into slices but managed as one single 3D array. There are no slice indices until the data is actually exported to DICOM.
However, since most DICOM exporter choose to reslice the volume along the third axis, you can get the slice index by adding 1 to the third voxel coordinate that is shown in the Data Probe. You need to add 1 because in DICOM the slice index usually starts from 1, while 3D coordinates start from 0.
DICOMscope is 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:
DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) is a standard format that enables medical professionals to view, store, and share medical images irrespective of their geographic location or the devices they use, as long as those devices support the format. DICOM images need to be viewed through specific software called DICOM viewers that can read and display the format. The images, along with the corresponding patient data, are often stored in a large database called the Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). The purpose of a DICOM application is to store information in the PACS about the imaging examination, along with patient details, and then when required, to view and interpret (and possibly edit) medical images that are retrieved from the PACS. DICOM images are unique in the fact that they contain patient information in addition to the image data.
For instance, some software are meant only for basic viewing. Therefore, they do not have any additional features such as sharing or storage. Some applications have the ability to export data as JPEG or GIF files, which can be used in teaching and presentations. DICOM software for clinics can store images to a certain extent on mini-PACS servers. Some software also offer advanced features, like anonymization, which is particularly useful when conducting clinical research.
