Research tools and libs

[tolstenko]

Our goal is to create a tool to visualize medical data. Given it should be able to render in 3d some images, it is nice to have a game engine baking it. Another restriction is to be able to run in a browser, so we have a few candidates that I can feature Unity.
About libs to process medical exams such as MRI and CT scans, I can think of two:

• C#: fodicom https://github.com/fo-dicom/fo-dicom
• C++: gdcm most reliable dicom image lib https://gdcm.sourceforge.net
• Use unity asset store to get inspired

The previous flow I did in the past was to use GDCM transpiled to WASM, and I created a webservice on top of it to convert and anonymize the files to a more compatible dicom file. The best approach would be to embed gdcm, but I recognize it can be tricky. Here is the package I created in the past. https://www.npmjs.com/package/gdcm-js
