postDICOM

While today's online MRI viewer enable convenient anywhere access, constrained feature sets limit clinical utility - especially for modalities like MRI and CT relying on rich 3D reconstructions. This article discusses the gradual evolution towards free diagnostic-quality MPR and MIP imaging within accessible web viewers. Limited bandwidth and processing horsepower longrestricted web-based DICOM visualization to static 2D slices suitable only for general reference. However, expanding viewer sophistication is steadily tackling advanced workflows like multiplanar reformatting (MPR), maximum intensity projection (MIP), and volume rendering to serve point-of-care needs. As demands for mobilized diagnostic insight collide with maturing technologies, the question becomes not if but when freely available DICOM viewers will unlock immersive 3D imaging for everyday patient care. Current State of Free Viewers While some paid enterprise viewers allow robust 3D visualizations, free...
