Best open source zero-footprint viewer?

[Jorge]

Are there any active, web-browser based viewer projects?
I'm familiar with Xero, but this project was gobbled up by Agfa.

Thanks,
Jorge

Have you considered the Oviyam? It's part of dcm4che.

Thanks, Suresh. Yes, Oviyam looks nice.
I just want to avoid Java after the whole Oracle disaster.
At least on the client side.

I'm thinking of building an open source viewer
written in HTML5+Javascript+WebGL. I think
the future of the web lies here.

Cheers,
Jorge

Hi Jorge,

I quite support the idea of HTML5+javascript for the image viewer and
i have had development experience in that setting. However, my early
version of that viewer does not include webgl.

Otherwise, Pegasus has a pretty complementary toolkit but its mainly
for silverlight and it's commercial.

Interesting. Thanks.

Jorge,

The sucessor to Oviyam which is under development will leverage all
HTML5 features to make it into a complete WebApp. Unfortunately it's
going to need Java on the server.

Thanks, Suresh. Would love to see this, and happy to use DCM4CHE
server side.
When is the ETA for release? And will it be open source?

Cheers,

Hello, thought I'd chime in since I had access to a small list compiled a little while ago (please do double-check everything though):

In addition, there is the Osimis Web Viewer, which is open source, based on Orthanc, maintained, and used in quite a few different types of contexts. (I work for Osimis.)

http://www.osimis.io/en/blog/2016/10/14/plugin-osimis-basic-viewer.html

Orthanc also has a plugin for whole-slide imaging, a toolkit for rendering currently being ported to Web Assembly, as well as a simpler viewer (all open source):

Hi Aaron,
What viewer did you find was the best ?

In my opinion, the top two open source zero footprint viewers are OHIF and Osimis:

OHIF:
+ Development funded by NCI grant (in year 2/5) and multiple commercial vendors
+ Is a viewer only, does not include an archive. Fully supports integration with archive via DICOMWeb
+ Commercial support is available via Radical Imaging and NucleusHealth (via PAAS offering)
+ Is designed to be extended - there are multiple commercial viewers based on this code base
+ FDA pending for NucleusHealth's viewer
+ Is based on cornerstone which has a very active community

Osimis:
+ Development funded by Osiris
+ Is a viewer and archive/middleware (requires orthanc)
+ Commercial support available via Osimis
+ Is working on (or has) CE Marking (unsure if they have it yet)
+ Uses cornerstone? Not sure exactly. Orthanc has a great community though

You can also look at DWV (DICOM Web Viewer) and Ovyiam - both of which are good viewers and have been around longer but don't has as much momentum behind them currently.

Disclaimer - I am the CTO for NucleusHealth, am on the board of OHIF and created Cornerstone (which OHIF is based on)

[Giorgio Faustini]

As you are also considering commercial solutions, take a look at O3IMS.View http://www.o3enterprise.com/blank-1

Pros:
+ pure HTML5 workstation, streaming technology
+ CE Marking Class IIa
+ commercial support, via mail/skype/phone/vpn
+ can be viewer only, or viewer + archive
+ teleradiology features, live consultation between 2+ users
+ diagnostic measurement tools, MPR, Oblique MPR, MIP, volume rendering, multi modal study comparison, reporting, tools for video editing, measurements for ECG tracks, support for digital pathology

- Giorgio

Actually there are quite a few web-based image viewer.
I think its best to start with this paper:
"Evaluation of Free Non-Diagnostic DICOM software tools" by W Liao,
T.M. Deserno and K. Spitzer (2008)
http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.157.7728&rep=rep1&type=pdf

it gives a comprehensive approach to evaluate a number of viewers,
with some being web-based or portable to web-based browser.

You are welcome to look at the list from
www.idoimaging.com too.

Regards,
Gary
