Introducing, the OpenEMR DICOM Web Viewer (DWV) by Jerry Padgett.

DICOM® (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) is the international standard to transmit, store, retrieve, print, process, and display medical imaging information. DICOM®: makes medical imaging information interoperable. [1] It makes it possible for us to view and share radiology images in a computerized format and avoid having to carry around the hard copies. Because it standardized the formatting of the images, any computer may open and display the patient image making it possible for doctors to view and share information regardless of the computer operating system.

It is now possible to upload, store and view digital radiology images from within OpenEMR, without needed additional software, simplifying medical decision making and thereby delivery of care. Not to mention improving time and cost efficiency.

The DICOM VIEWER will be available effective the OpenEMR version 6.0 release.
