Readme
This is a lightweight portable Dicom browser application written in Python. It allows Dicom directories to be loaded, images and tag data viewed, and not much else aside. This is intended to be a cross-platform utility suitable for previewing Dicom data rather than doing any sort of processing.
DicomBrowser requires Python 3.7+, PyQt5, numpy, pydicom and pyqtgraph, and optionally the libraries for pydicom used to load JPEG data.
Installation through pip:
pip install dicombrowser
Installation from repo:
git clone https://github.com/ericspod/DicomBrowser.git
cd DicomBrowser
pip install .
This will create the entry point dicombrowser which accepts DICOM directories or zip files containing them:
dicombrowser MAGIX.zip
DicomBrowser can be run directly as a module from the repo:
python -m dicombrowser
A Dockerfile is included, to build the image with the following command:
docker build . -t dicombrowser:latest
and then to run the created image "dicombrowser" on a X Windows host use a command like the following:
docker run -ti --rm --net=host -e DISPLAY -v "$HOME/.Xauthority:/root/.Xauthority:rw" dicombrowser
Running xhost +local:docker may be necessary to add permissions and allow the container to access the X network ports.
