Here is a quick an easy DICOM viewer from RadiAnt. I’ve taken some information from the web site and removed some of the marketing adjectives.

Their web site mentioned that it has capacity to read large image series and it can load multiple series at once.  It is also compiled in 64-bit mode so can load very large data sets. It’s frequently updated and has a well-executed web site.

The RadiAnt DICOM Viewer CD/DVD autorun package. It runs from CD/DVD media without installation on Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 systems and does not have any additional software or programming requirements (e.g. .NET, Java).

Here’s a couple of great resources on DICOM and PACS  that I found on Amazon.com.  Great tools…

 

 

 

If the user’s operating system permits, the 64-bit version is opened for better efficiency. On older machines the 32-bit version is used. Approximately just 6MB of overhead data is added to the media.
