Introduction
The Open Health Imaging Foundation (OHIF) Viewer is an open source, web-based, medical imaging platform. It aims to provide a core framework for building complex imaging applications.
Key features:
- Designed to load large radiology studies as quickly as possible. Retrieves metadata ahead of time and streams in imaging pixel data as needed.
- Leverages Cornerstone3D for decoding, rendering, and annotating medical images.
- Works out-of-the-box with Image Archives that support DICOMWeb. Offers a Data Source API for communicating with archives over proprietary API formats.
- Provides a plugin framework for creating task-based workflow modes which can reuse core functionality.
- Beautiful user interface (UI) designed with extensibility in mind. UI components available in a reusable component library built with React.js and Tailwind CSS
