• Proper measurement of Hounsfield units and position by mouse

• PNG image export

To Do

• Better zooming

• Better MRI images support

• RT dose images support

• View in different planes (rectangular + others)

• Information from the DICOM file in user-friendly display

Dependencies

• Python 3 / Python 2.7 (not tested)

Tested on Linux and Windows.

Installation

The easiest way is pip install pydiq.

Limitations

Currently, the viewer supports only Computed Radiography (CR), Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images with normal orientation (x, y, z) in one-slice-per-file format.
