![]() ![]() To do so, DICOM software tools are needed which should meet certain requirements. INTRODUCTION After acquiring 2D and 3D medical datasets in the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) format using computed radiology (CR), magnet resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET) or other modalities, one often wants to view the data before starting to process them. Keywords: PACS, DICOM, Software, Comparison, Evaluation 1. In particular, we discuss use cases for the inexperienced user, data conversion, and volume rendering, and suggest Syngo FastView or PMSDView, DicomWorks or XMedCon, and ImageJ or UniViewer, respectively. ![]() Our results in table form can ease the selection of appropriate DICOM software tools. In total, 21 tools were included: 3D Slicer, AMIDE, BioImage Suite, DicomWorks, EViewBox, ezDICOM, FPImage, ImageJ, JiveX, Julius, MedImaView, MedINRIA, MicroView, MIPAV, MRIcron, Osiris, PMSDView, Syngo FastView, TomoVision, UniViewer, and XMedCon. This paper aims at evaluation and comparison of freely available, non-diagnostic DICOM software with respect to the following aspects: (i) data import (ii) data export (iii) header viewing (iv) 2D image viewing (v) 3D volume viewing (vi) support (vii) portability (viii) workability and (ix) usability. The surveys that have been published so far are partly not up-to-date anymore, and neither a detailed description of the software functions nor a comprehensive comparison is given. Some of them offer further processing and analysis features. Deserno, and Klaus Spitzer Department of Medical Informatics, Aachen University of Technology (RWTH), 52057 Aachen, Germany ABSTRACT A variety of software exists to interpret files or directories compliant to the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standard and display them as individual images or volume rendered objects. ![]() Evaluation of Free Non-Diagnostic DICOM Software Tools Wei Liao 1, Thomas M. ![]()
