Hi,

We are developing an application that requires DICOM image viewer on the server but we can not find a viewer that will work on ROR server. There are no Gems available. Any help will be apreciated.

Regards

Amit

What is DICOM? i saw someone with this problem and solve it yesterday

DICOM is the image output of an X-ray machine. X ray plates are things of past. Radiologists all over the world use DICOM images to read an X-ray. They have special monitor through which they can view the DICOM image. But the problem is that we cannot find a server version of DICOM image viewer that works on ROR platform.

Why do you think you need a server-side viewer? What have you found so far, and why do you think they won't work with Rails?

If you need a special viewer, it's probably implemented in client-side Java or JavaScript. Neither of those care in the slightest about Rails; it's just a matter of furnishing them with the right image data.

I'm about 90% certain that you're trying to solve this problem wrong.

Best,

someone got this converted to jpg and then displayed on a view search the mailing list

He had a path problem that was actually easy to solve and but he did convert the image

""I have created a Rails application based on this tutorial: http://dicom.rubyforge.org/tutorial1.html

I’m trying to view a DICOM image. I was able to convert .dcm to .jpg.

But, when I try to view the .jpg image I get as shown in the “Snapshot” file attached within this message.

Where is the problem?

Thanks. “”“”"
