Advanced Medical Imaging Viewer

[fox1t]

🚀 Feature Proposal

We need an advanced viewer component.

Motivation

Our users need to make all of they work inside HospitalRun. One of the most important task is the be able to open the most common medical file formats.
One of the most complete libs out there is https://github.com/OHIF/Viewers

We need to understand how to implement it as reusable component: as usual, we will wrap it inside our own APIs.

@jackcmeyer what do you think about this?

https://docs.ohif.org/deployment/recipes/embedded-viewer.html. I think that this page will be helpful for us.

The one big concern that I had was the potential for conflicting dependencies described here. However, according to the docs that can be alleviated by embedding this into an iframe.

Seems like the docs are pretty good with an activity GitHub repo and community.

Have you been able to find any alternatives to compare against?

I found pretty of them. But the open health imaging foundation is somehow close to our ideas. The viewer is surely one of the most mature and they are supporting other core projects as https://github.com/dcmjs-org/dicomweb-server/ (yes, we will help dcmjs-org in making dicomweb-server, and they are using couchdb and fastfiy too!).
You can find other viewers here

👋 I'm one of the core maintainers over at OHIF and Cornerstonejs. I've helped integrate both as medical image viewing solutions in a number of applications through my consulting work with Radical Imaging.

More than happy to volunteer my time to assist with an integration when the time comes. Depending on your needs, the approach will change, but I'm sure we can accommodate your use cases ^_^
