Weasis is a multipurpose standalone and web-based DICOM viewer with a highly modular architecture. It’s available as a desktop applicatoin or as a web-based application.

It’s used in healthcare by hospitals, health networks, multicenter research trials, and patients. It allows high-quality renderings with high performance through the OpenCV library.

The software allows a flexible integration to PACS, RIS, HIS or PHR.

Features include:

• Connect to any PACS via a web portal or as an XDS-I consumer in an IHE (Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise) environment.
• Can be configured with very low memory footprint.
• DICOM Send (storeSCU and STOW RS).
• DICOM Query/Retrieve (C-GET, C-MOVE and WADO).
• Dicomizer module (allow importing standard images and convert them in DICOM).
• API for building custom plug-ins.
• Logging available in the Java console or from Weasis log files.
• Internationalization support.

• Display all kinds of DICOM files (including multi-frame, enhanced, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, MIME Encapsulation, SR, PR, KOS, AU, RT and ECG).
• Viewer for common image formats (TIFF, BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, RAS, HDR, and PNM).
• Image manipulation (pan, zoom, windowing, presets, rotation, flip, scroll, crosshair, filtering…).
• Layouts for comparing series or studies.
• Advanced series synchronization options.
• Display Presentation States (GSPS) and Key Object Selection.
• Create key images (Key Object Selection object) by selection.
