DICOM:Interface

Goals

Ideally we will have a nice set of reusable Qt widgets for different aspects of the DICOM interaction process. Since Osirix is widely used (and praised) we are using their interface as an inspiration for our work.

The screenshots show some of the essential functionality.

Osirix local database view

Osirix Query Interface

Design Discussion

Wendy has Design Discussion| done a review and created a design that generalizes the DICOM concepts while maintaining the core concepts used in clinical applications.

Generalized design for remote resource query

Initial implementation tests are happening in the context of Common Toolkit working sessions.
