RDS (Rust DICOM Station) is open-source software for medical imaging and radiotherapy research, analysis and QA, written entirely in Rust. It loads complete radiotherapy studies (CT, MR and PET series, RTSTRUCT, RTDOSE, photon and ion RTPLAN, DICOM SEG, planar images, registrations and treatment records) for viewing, comparison and quantitative analysis.
Linked axial, sagittal and coronal views and dual-dataset comparison, rigid and deformable registration, structure propagation, DRRs, dose-volume histograms, 4D motion analysis, manual and AI-assisted segmentation (TotalSegmentator, SegVol and MedSAM2 re-implemented in Rust, GPU accelerated through Vulkan), a 3D view, a local patient archive, DICOM editing, anonymization and export, and an MCP server (rust-dicom-station.rds-mcp) through which an AI assistant can drive the tools.
Model weights are downloaded on first use into ~/snap/rust-dicom-station/common/data/models. Folders outside your home folder (USB drives, /media, /mnt) need one command:
sudo snap connect rust-dicom-station:removable-media

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
If you’re running Kubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) or later, including Kubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) and Kubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.
Versions of Kubuntu between 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) and 15.10 (Wily Werewolf) don’t include snap by default, but snap can be installed from the command line as follows:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
To install Rust DICOM Station, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install rust-dicom-station
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
