Hi,
What do people usually use to view dicom images, and how do I invoke this viewer?
Thanks! Dahlia.
If you just want to view one image from one dicom file, then you can use mri_probedicom with the --view option. If you want to view it as a volume, then I'd convert it to nifti and view it in tkmedit, fslview, afni, spm, etc.

mricro is a handy viewer for instances where you've already used another tool to create an explicit volume (e.g., Analyze, nifti format, etc).
For instances where you have a bunch of unorganized DICOMs, you may be interested in trying out the DicomBrowser available from the Neuroinformatics Group here at WashU.
It is Java based (making use of ImageJ) and can be run from within a web browser, or you can download a launcher to your desktop. It sorts DICOMs into studies and series, and provides easy access to the information in the DICOM fields.
cheers, Mike H.

Hello.
I have a question in regards to Doug's suggestion. When I view the image using mri_dicomprobe, the image is great. However when I convert the dicom files into nifti to view and work with in tkmedit, the images I get in tkmedit are very poor quality. I used: mri_convert -i <input dicom>.dcm <output>.nii
Any suggestions?

They should be exactly the same data, so it could just be a human-factors perception problem. I'd guess that the tkmedit image is larger than the probedicom image, so it will look worse. Try viewing it from a few feet away:).

If you have a Mac I would recommend OsiriX If you are on a PC or Linux use Mricro.

We do appear to have Mricro installed at the Martinos Center at /usr/pubsw/packages/mricro/current/
