ezDICOM DICOM viewer |
| Index
This software is designed to display most medical images: MRI, CT, X-ray, and ultrasound. All versions of ezDICOM can automatically detect the format of a medical image and display it on the screen. The ezDICOM project will appeal to several groups of people:
My DICOM page lists a large number of free DICOM viewers. So what are the benefits of ezDICOM? The main benefit is that the software is easy to use, mature (stable, few if any bugs) and can view a wide range of medical images including proprietary formats as well as images in the DICOM standard. For example, In addition, most free DICOM viewers only read a small subset of the DICOM images available, while ezDICOM can view a broad range of images. In addition to DICOM images, thesoftware will automatically recognize and display Analyze, GE (LX, Genesis), Interfile, Siemens (Magnetom, Somatom) and NEMA images. The greatest strength of ezDICOM is that it is free and open source. There are many variations of medical images 'in the wild' - many of these are poorly or incorrectly documented. By being free, ezDICOM has developed a wide user base, and this ensures the quality of the code. Thousands of people have used ezDICOM and sent in unusual and rare images, and the code is now mature and able to read virtually all the popular medical images. Therefore, the users are the most important strength of this software. It is important to acknowledge the many people who shared their images with the developers. The advantage of being open source is that programmers can modify and improve the code if they want. The project was started by Wolfgang Krug and has been expanded and maintained by Chris Rorden. Development was particularly aided by Earl F. Glynn's general programming tutorials and David Clunie's medical imaging FAQ. Special mention should also go to Jakob Scholbach (coauthored the lossless JPEG decoder), Armando Alaminos Bouza (Somatom formats), Yves Martel (various formats) and Sebastien Barre (useful suggestions). This software is covered by the BSD open source license. You can distribute both compiled projects and the source code. However, you should also distribute the license (the compiled standalone program makes this easy: the license is built into the 'about' window). The license also notes that the software is provided 'as is', use it at your own risk. This software attempts to reproduce medical images accurately. However, it is not designed for clinical use: computer monitors can vary tremendously in image quality. All grayscale images are rendered in 256-levels of gray (this is true of all of the viewers which I know of). |

for users Introduction. The standalone ezDICOM for windows program is a basic but useful tool for viewing medical images. This software will run on computers with Windows 95 or later and requires less than 300 Kb of disk space. To view an image, you simply drag and drop the image onto the program (or you can choose 'Open...' from the 'File' menu). Despite the ease of use, ezDICOM has a number of powerful features. For example, you can set the brightness and contrast of an image with great precision.You can also animate images that have multiple slices (e.g. see a heart beating over time or see different depths into the brain). Installation. To download the ezDICOM standalone application [version 1, release 24 ], shift+click here. The program is distributed as a compressed zip file - simply extract the files and double click on ezDICOM.exe. Delphi source code is also included. |
 Resorep 1.7.0Even with a clear guide, you might encounter some common issues. Here’s how to fix them. Copy the dx11proxy64.dll file (or dx11proxy32.dll for older titles) included in the Resorep package. Click the button and navigate to your game's executable ( .exe ) to add it to the list. Resorep works by replacing the original DirectX 11 dynamic-link library file ( d3d11.dll ) with a custom version. Resorep 1.7.0 that newly pasted file to ori_d3d11.dll inside the game folder. : Resorep is a Java-based application. You will need Java 8 (64-bit or 32-bit depending on your OS) installed to launch the interface. When mods do not render in-game, the problem usually stems from bad folder tracking parameters. Open your dllsettings.txt configuration file inside the game folder to review it. Double-check that your folder paths match exactly. Ensure you manually change the file extension from .txt to .ini before launching the game engine. Managing Coexistence with ReShade Even with a clear guide, you might encounter : Some versions require the game to be run in Windowed or Borderless Windowed mode initially for the hook to activate properly. : On Windows 10 and 11, the Java executable often needs to be set to "Run as Administrator" to allow the tool to hook into protected game directories. Missing DLLs : Used heavily for Cal Kestis face, hair, and outfit overhauls. Click the button and navigate to your game's executable ( It's helpful to understand how Resorep fits into the broader modding ecosystem: The modified textures are placed in the designated Resorep folder, where the 1.7.0 engine forces the game to load them instead of the vanilla textures. Installation and Technical Aspects : Resorep's graphical interface is built on Java, necessitating the x64 version for modern gaming systems. If your textures fail to swap or your game crashes instantly on startup, apply these diagnostic fixes: Resolving DLL Errors & Game Crashes Find the dx11proxy64.dll (for 64-bit games) or dx11proxy32.dll (for 32-bit) in the Resorep folder. |
| DCM2JPG console
application DCM2JPG is a simple command-line Windows program. If you drop a file on the program it will create a JPEG version of the file (alternatively, if you name the program 'dcm2png.exe' or 'dcm2bmp.exe' it will create PNG or BMP format images). You can also call the program from the command line, to do special functions like change the image brightness or contrast (most grayscale DICOM images have much higher precision than can be saved to standard bitmap formats). Another nice feature is the ability to create nice zoomed versions of DICOM images - e.g. save a 128x128 pixel image as a 192x192 pixel bitmap (scaling is done using a bilinear-interpolation method to reduce any jaggy edges). Both a compiled program and the (ezDICOM-based) source code can be downloaded by shift+clicking here. Here is a short overview of the commands: OPTIONS

| ezDICOM for
programmers The basic concept is that code for ezDICOM can be included in more complicated projects. A good example is Chris Rorden's MRIcro freeware. MRIcro includes a lot of powerful features that are useful for scientists studying the brain. The casual user will find MRIcro much more difficult to use than the basic ezDICOM, but specialist will appreciate MRIcro's additional features. There are actually three versions of ezDICOM available for programmers, depending on the computer language you use. In all cases, the source code is provided, so you can either use the software as a modular unit without needing to learn about any of the details of medical imaging, or you can modify how these components work.
