DICOMweb WSI Viewer

This repository contains a proof-of-concept whole slide imaging viewer powered by a DICOMweb server. This particular tool uses the Google Cloud Healthcare API DICOMweb implementation.

NOTE: This viewer is only for whole slide (i.e. pathology) images. For radiology viewers that work with the Healthcare API check out Weasis (https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/weasis-chcapi-extension), OHIF (https://docs.ohif.org/connecting-to-image-archives/google-cloud-healthcare.html), eUnity (https://demo.eunity.app) or IMS (https://cloudview.imstsvc.com/GoogleDemoViewer/Hub)

Prerequisites

You need to have access to the Google Cloud Healthcare API and have created a DICOM store with some DICOM WSIs in it.

Once you have access to the Cloud Healthcare API you can follow the quickstart to create a DICOM store and upload some sample DICOM images.

To create DICOM WSIs you first need to get some pathology images (https://openslide.org/) has some test data you can use) and the convert them to DICOM. To convert to DICOM you can use a tool like the DICOMizer CLI from the Orthanc WSI Plugin.

Getting Started

Once you've created a DICOM store with some DICOM WSIs in it, the following steps will bring up the viewer:

  1. Clone this repository
  2. Insert client secret id:
  3. Run python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000 from the root folder of the directory
  4. Navigate to http://localhost:8000
