Hi, problem with extremely slow DICOM loading is not new. I reported that a year and half ago (Subject: "DICOM support in MITK 2015.05", date 26.7.2015), but problem persists, so I have two versions of MITK: 2014.10.00 for DICOM loading and the newest version for everything else. But honestly, also certain versions of Slicer have the same problem on my computer (I do not remember which ones, as I tested Slicer two years ago), so I would guess the problem is not related to MITK, but to GDCM or DCMTK or whatever is used for DICOM support. Anyway, I hope that this is solved once in near future. For sure, the problem is not with hardware, but with software. If problem was hardware-related, it would be the same with all versions.
