DICOM Viewers
| Viewer | License/Update | Homepage/Description |
|---|---|---|
| Aeskulap | License: GPL | Homepage: http://freshmeat.net/projects/aeskulap |
| Last Update: 2006-03-08 | Descriptions from site: Aeskulap is a medical image viewer. It is able to load a series of special images stored in the DICOM format for review. It 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. It 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 it to any platform were these packages are available. | |
| Amide | License: GPL | Homepage: http://amide.sourceforge.net/index.html |
| Last update: 2006-10-22 | Descriptions from site: "AMIDE is a completely free tool for viewing, analyzing, and registering volumetric medical imaging data sets. It’s been developed using GTK+/GNOME, and runs on any system that supports the toolkit (Linux, Windows, Mac OS X with fink, etc.)." | |
| ClearCanvas | License: BSD | Homepage: http://clearcanvas.ca |
| Last Update: 2007-05-18 | Descriptions from site: ClearCanvas Work station is our friendly, easy-to-use DICOM PACS viewer. Because it is built on top of our highly extensible application framework, we expect that it will be appropriate not just for radiologists and clinicians, but also researchers who want to build new, cutting edge tools that can be easily "tried out" in a clinical environment. | |
| EViewBox | License: GPL | Homepage: http://sourceforge.net/projects/eviewbox |
| Last update: 2001-11-18 | Descriptions from site: "Eviewbox is a java imaging suite, its purpose is to view and spread native DICOM medical images, allowing for 2D and 3 reconstructions. EViewbox applet will allow to see the DICOM images on every platform." | |
| ezDICOM | License: BSD | Homepage: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ezdicom/ |
| Last update: 2004-12-02 | Descriptions from site: "ezDICOM is a medical viewer for MRI, CT, and ultrasound images. It can read images from Analyze, DICOM, GE Genesis, Interfile, Siemens Magnetom, Siemens Somatom, and NEMA formats. It also includes tools for converting medical images from proprietary format" | |
| ImageJ | License: Public Domain | Homepage: http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/download.html |
| Last update: 2007-05-25 | Descriptions from site: "ImageJ is a public domain Java image processing program inspired by NIH Image for the Macintosh. It runs, either as an online applet or as a downloadable application, on any computer with a Java 1.1 or later virtual machine. Downloadable distributions are available for Windows, Mac OS, Mac OS X and Linux. It can display, edit, analyze, process, save and print 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit images. It can read many image formats including TIFF, GIF, JPEG, BMP, DICOM, FITS and "raw. Custom acquisition, analysis and processing plugins can be developed using ImageJ’s built in editor and Java compiler. User-written plugins make it possible to solve almost any image processing or analysis problem." | |
| kradview | License: GPL | Homepage: http://freshmeat.net/projects/kradview/ |
| Last update: 2006-03-26 | Descriptions from site: Kradview is a viewer of images obtained from different sources such as x-ray, NMR, and DICOM-compatible imaging devices. Its aim is to be an easy-to-use DICOM viewer with instant rendering of images, no matter the size and the zoom of the DICOM image. It allows medical professionals to view x-ray images easily. | |
| Medwx | License: Python Software License | Homepage: http://sourceforge.net/projects/medwx/ |
| Last update: 2006-10-17 | Descriptions from site: Mainly a browser for medical patients documents. For now, it works for displaying radiology images in DICOM format. It supports Query/Retrieve. Build on Python, wxPython and ZODB. | |
| NIH Image | License: Free / Public Domain | Homepage: http://rsb.info.nih.gov/nih-image/Default.html |
| Last update: 2002-11-19 | Descriptions from site: "NIH Image is a public domain image processing and analysis program for the Macintosh. It was developed at the Research Services Branch (RSB) of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH)." | |
| Osirix | License: GPL | Homepage: http://sourceforge.net/projects/osirix/ |
| Last update: 2007-04-11 | Descriptions from site: OsiriX, for the Mac OS X, is an image processing software dedicated to DICOM images (".dcm" / ".DCM" extension) produced by medical equipment (MRI, CT, PET, PET-CT, ) and confocal microscopy (LSM and BioRAD-PIC format). It can also read many other file formats: TIFF (8,16, 32 bits), JPEG, PDF, AVI, MPEG, and Quicktime. It is fully compliant with the DICOM standard for image communication and image file formats. OsiriX is able to receive images transferred by DICOM communication protocol from any PACS or medical imaging modality (STORE SCP-Service Class Provider, STORE SCU-Service Class User, and Query/Retrieve). |
