The various software that can be used to manipulate DICOM


images can be found online. We will classify these software based on
the user requirements.
The user might need:

1. A simple viewer with limited manipulation like ezDICOM


[Ror20].

2. A viewer with ability to manipulate images and perform rendering


like Osirix [SAR20].

3. A viewer with image manipulation capability and also extensible


with plugins like ImageJ.

1. ezDICOM: This is a viewer that provides sufficient functionality


that allows users to view and save DICOM files without installing
any other complex software in their system. It is available only
for Windows OS. It can read DICOM files and save them in other
file formats. It can also convert image files to analyze format.

2. Osirix: This is a viewer with extensive functionality and is avail-


able free, but unfortunately it is available only in MacOSX. Like
other DICOM viewers, it can read and store files in different file
formats and as movies. It can perform Multi-Planar Reconstruc-
tion (MPR), 3D surface rendering, 3D volume rendering, and
endoscopy. It can also view 4D DICOM data. The surface ren-
dered data can also be stored as VRML, STL files, etc.

3. ImageJ: ImageJ was funded by the National Institutes of Health


(NIH) and is available as open source. It is written in Java and
users can add their own Java classes or plugins. It is available
