Aeskulap is a medical image viewer.
Aeskulap can load a series of special images stored in the DICOM format for review. Additionally Aeskulap can query and fetch DICOM images from archive nodes (also called PACS) over the network.
While this software has not seen a new release since 2007, it continues to be available in popular Linux distributions.
DICOM features include:
- Supports compressed (lossless, lossy), uncompressed and multiframe DICOM images.
- C-Find support (query archive nodes).
- C-Move (query / retrieve) support.
- Proper display support for Rescale / Intercept tags.
- Handles color images
Other features include:
- Easy mouse navigation (all operations like windowlevels, pan, zoom, scroll are handled with one hand).
- Realtime image manipulation (even in looping animations).
- Renders reference images (3D projection of selected images) in all suitable views.
- Browse & open local images.
- User defined windowlevel presets.
