The world's most widely used independent commercial DICOM viewer.

Why another DICOM viewer? Sometimes the simplest things are the best ...

We were actually developing a classification system for tumor surgery together with a surgeon when he casually asked: Why don't you build a DICOM viewer? Our reaction: What for? They come on every CD from the imaging department. His answer made us rethink: They are all hard to use, each one works differently – and none of them can do 3D. Without the radiologist's two-line summary, I don't get very far with them. You are so good at three-dimensional visualization. That is exactly what I would need. And please keep it simple.

From that one aside, the Dornheim DICOM Viewer was born: a viewer that does not merely display medical image data, but truly lets you understand it in 3D – independent of the acquisition device, on every platform, and so intuitive that it works not only for researchers at university hospitals, but also for patients who simply want to take a look at their own data. Today it is in use in 193 countries.
