My team is interested in needing an example of a DICOM WEB function. Does Slicer have a module that I can set up to illustrate DICOM WEB functionality? I hope that question makes sense as I don’t have experience with DICOM WEB. 🙂

Thanks

Do you mean searching and loading data via DICOMweb? Yes, there’s this extension: [GitHub - lassoan/SlicerDICOMwebBrowser: 3D Slicer extension for browsing and downloading medical imaging collections from DICOMweb databases](https://github.com/lassoan/SlicerDICOMwebBrowser)

There’s also a very experimental implementation of exposing Slicer’s dicom database as a DICOMweb server, but probably you don’t want that.

Slicer core has two built-in DICOMweb features:

1. Use a custom URL and DICOMweb to open a DICOM study directly from a web browser. This is how you can open Slicer from Kheops website.
2. You can push DICOM series via DICOMweb from the DICOM module.

DICOMweb extension provides a DICOMweb browser that can browse a remote server content and download content to the local DICOM database.

You can find step-by-step instructions for all the above in this [PerkLab bootcamp tutorial](https://github.com/PerkLab/PerkLabBootcamp/blob/master/Doc/day1_7_DICOMTutorial.pptx?raw=true).

@lassoan, Thanks for the info!
