#### A free/libre/open medical DICOM viewer

**Weasis** is an open-source DICOM viewer for standalone and web use, built for medical image visualization in PACS and DICOM workflows — from routine reading to AI-assisted review and quantitative imaging.

**General Features**

* Open source under EPL 2 or Apache 2 license
* Integrates with PACS, VNA, RIS, HIS, or EHR
* Desktop builds for Windows, macOS, Linux; web access via the `weasis://` protocol
* Responsive UI for high-DPI screens; 20+ language support
* Server- and client-side preference configuration with multi-level overrides
* API for custom plug-ins; embeddable viewer for CD/DVD or portable media
* *Dicomizer* module converts images, videos, PDFs, and STL meshes into DICOM
* AI-assisted and quantitative imaging workflows
* Docs: <https://nroduit.github.io/en/>

**Connectivity & Interoperability**

Fits existing clinical infrastructure two ways: server-side via a gateway such as ViewerHub (centralized brokering of PACS/DICOMweb, auth, and manifests), or client-side by configuring DICOM nodes and DICOMweb sources directly.

* **Classic DIMSE** — Query/Retrieve (C-FIND, C-GET, C-MOVE) and Store (C-STORE)
* **DICOMweb** — QIDO-RS, WADO-RS, STOW-RS over HTTPS
* **WADO-URI** — for legacy PACS and Weasis manifest flow
* **`weasis://` protocol** — single-click launch from browsers, EHR, RIS portals
* **Authentication** — Basic, OAuth 2.0, and OpenID Connect (Auth Code with PKCE, RFC 8252); works with Keycloak, Google Cloud Healthcare, any OIDC provider
* **Send/Export** — store to PACS or DICOMweb, or export locally as DICOMDIR ZIP, ISO with embedded viewer, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, AVI/MP4
* **Integration hooks** — argument-driven launch, manifest-based study loading

**Viewer Features**

* **Data type support** — all common DICOM files including multi-frame, *Enhanced* (CT/MR/US Volume), MPEG-2/4, SR, PR, KOS, SEG, RT, ECG, Parametric Map; codecs include JPEG (baseline/extended/lossless), JPEG-LS, JPEG 2000, JPEG-XL, RLE; import/export CD/DVD with DICOMDIR and ZIP; views common formats (TIFF, BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, etc.)
* **Exporting** — local export (DICOMDIR, ZIP, ISO, TIFF, JPEG, PNG); send to PACS/DICOMweb; save measurements as Presentation States or XML
* **Viewing & rendering** — multi-monitor with per-monitor calibration, HiDPI, full-screen; mouse and customizable keyboard controls; Modality/VOI/Presentation LUTs; GSPS overlays; overlays, shutters, pixel padding; lossy compression indicator; geometry-issue warnings; FrameOfReferenceUID-aware view synchronization
* **Advanced imaging** — Oblique MPR with gantry-tilt correction, MIP, 3D Volume Rendering with segmentation overlay, 4D/multi-phase series splitting, cross-lines, 3D cursor, magnifier, side-by-side comparison layouts
* **Measurement & annotation** — length, area, angle (incl. Cobb), perpendicular, parallel, free-shape; pixel region statistics; histograms; SUV measurement (PET/nuclear); pixel-info inspector
* **Specific viewers** — ECG (waveforms with measurements), SR (structured reports with hyperlinks), AU (audio player, WAV export), RT (structure-set, dose, DVH)
* **Other tools** — printing to DICOM and system printers; Key Object Selection via star button; full DICOM attribute display/search; *Acquire/Dicomizer* capture and conversion of non-DICOM media
