We would like to discuss the current status and future needs for the visual DICOM browser (with @Davide_Punzo and @fedorov).

### Meeting Notes

#### DICOM Documentation

- Reviewed [PR-8786](https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/pull/8786), which provides documentation on **Slicer integration in hospital/PACS environments**.
- The goal is to offer practical guidance for connecting Slicer or Slicer-based applications to DICOM AEs in clinical workflows.
- Documentation reflects assumptions like the inability to auto-discover DICOM AEs, the need for pre-configured endpoints, and support for both **push** (C-STORE) and **pull** (C-FIND/C-MOVE) operations.

#### Visual DICOM Browser

Reviewed project from [42nd NA-MIC Project Week: Visual DICOM Browser](https://projectweek.na-mic.org/PW42_2025_GranCanaria/Projects/VisualDICOMBrowser/).

Key Features:

- Proxying of DICOM requests (to route queries through another service).
- Multi-threaded querying for improved responsiveness.

Discussion Highlights:

- Clear distinction between research and clinical workflows: clinical usage is typically **patient-centric** , with a known patient ID.

- Encouraged **refactoring the existing DICOM browser** to leverage the same model used by the Visual DICOM browser.

- Considering refactoring of the backend to support **TLS-based querying**.

- Usability suggestions:

Next Steps and Roadmap:

- See [commontk/CTK#1230](https://github.com/commontk/CTK/issues/1230) and associated [comment notes](https://github.com/commontk/CTK/issues/1230#issuecomment-3402330952) for the 2025 roadmap for Visual DICOM.
