NAME¶
dicomscope - DICOM Viewer
SYNOPSIS¶
dicomscope DICOMFile.dcm
DESCRIPTION¶
This manual page documents briefly the
dicomscope command.
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.
DICOMscope is not meant as a competition for commercial DICOM viewers. The
application is rather a feasibility study for DICOM presentation states. The
program is not appropriate to be used in a clinical environment, e.g. for
reporting.
