About

The OHIF Medical Imaging Viewer is for viewing medical images. It can retrieve and load images from most sources and formats; render sets in 2D, 3D, and reconstructed representations; allows for the manipulation, annotation, and serialization of observations; supports internationalization, OpenID Connect, offline use, hotkeys, and many more features.

Almost everything offers some degree of customization and configuration. If it doesn't support something you need, we accept pull requests and have an ever improving Extension System.

Why Choose Us

Community & Experience

The OHIF Viewer is a collaborative effort that has served as the basis for many active, production, and FDA Cleared medical imaging viewers. It benefits from our extensive community's collective experience, and from the sponsored contributions of individuals, research groups, and commercial organizations.

Built to Adapt

After more than 5-years of integrating with many companies and organizations, The OHIF Viewer has been rebuilt from the ground up to better address the varying workflow and configuration needs of its many users. All of the Viewer's core features are built using it's own extension system. The same extensibility that allows us to offer:

• 2D and 3D medical image viewing
• Multiplanar Reconstruction (MPR)
• Maximum Intensity Project (MIP)
• Whole slide microscopy viewing
• PDF and Dicom Structured Report rendering
• User Access Control (UAC)
• Context specific toolbar and side panel content
• and many others

Can be leveraged by you to customize the viewer for your workflow, and to add any new functionality you may need (and wish to maintain privately without forking).

Support

We offer support through GitHub Issues. You can:

• Report a Bug 🐛
• Request a Feature 🚀
• Ask a Question 🤗

Quick Start Deployment

This is only one of many ways to configure and deploy the OHIF Viewer. To learn more about your options, and how to choose the best one for your requirements, check out our deployment recipes and documentation.

The fastest and easiest way to get started is to include the OHIF Viewer with a script tag. In practice, this is as simple as:

• Including the following dependencies with script tags:
  • React
  • React Dom
  • The OHIF Viewer
• Have an element with an ID of root on the page
• Configure the OHIF Viewer at window.config:

window.config = {
  routerBasename: '/',
  servers: {
    dicomWeb: [
      {
        name: 'DCM4CHEE',
        qidoRoot: 'https://server.dcmjs.org/dcm4chee-arc/aets/DCM4CHEE/rs',
        wadoRoot: 'https://server.dcmjs.org/dcm4chee-arc/aets/DCM4CHEE/rs',
        qidoSupportsIncludeField: true,
        imageRendering: 'wadors',
        thumbnailRendering: 'wadors',
      },
    ],
  },
};

• Install the viewer: window.OHIFStandaloneViewer.installViewer(window.config);

This exact setup is demonstrated in this CodeSandbox and in our Embedding The Viewer deployment recipe.
