Hi Klaas, I appreciate your enthusiasm! Thanks.
I think this is the future for medical image/document management. Of course, images are still stored mostly on PACS DICOM archives. But it would be interesting to federate ownCloud with a PACS server: images on ownCloud would be symlinks to the actual images on the PACS, and clicking them would pull them down and display them. And ownCloud could cache the images for a defined period of time, so performance would be good for the next view. I have a lot of other ideas. But first, I need to figure out how to simply display DICOM images. I will look at the pdf viewer, that looks like it will be helpful Cheers, Aaron On Tue, Jul 29, 2014 at 3:29 AM, Klaas Freitag <frei...@owncloud.com> wrote: > On 28.07.2014 17:03, Aaron Boxer wrote: > > I would like to store and view medical DICOM images on ownCloud. > > DICOM images require a special viewer to view the files: I am currently > > building a web viewer for DICOM. > Very cool.
