I am developing an epilepsy surgery database here and part of it includes various images from the patients (MRI slices, X-Rays, etc...). The images are uploaded by some of the doctors involved with the patient, who get the images from a hospital wide database which is accessed via a win32. The images are bitmaps or mime type image/bmp.
I am running zope, and once the images are uploaded, the users can access them from my server. The problem is, there seems to be some inconsistency on how various browsers deal with the images. On one machine with IE, it displayed them within a browser. On another, it sent a popup window asking how I wanted to view them. In opera and mozilla on linux, it asks for an external app, and I can view the images in xv or ee. IIRC, bitmaps are platform specific. Is this why there is no default browser support for them? Is it possible to get plugins for the popular browsers to support this type, or to simply configure IE to view them inline? Another alternative I am considering is using python's PIL to convert the files to some more universal format at upload time, preferably a lossless compression type. I was thinking about a lossless tiff. Any suggestions here?
