You should always practice caution with medical data and never send to 3rd parties without encryption or other security mechanisms.

No. This software is not currently cleared or approved for any medical/diagnostics functions. It is for research and general viewing only.

6. What is a DicomDir file?

A DICOMDIR file is a DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) file that contains information about other DICOM files. It is used to organize and structure a collection of DICOM files, making it easier to locate and access specific images. These are often found on imaging CD-Roms. We currently do not support loading DicomDir files in this tool, but we are working on a feature for this. In the meantime, you can simple find the dicom files in your cd manually and drop them on the viewer page.
