DICOM SIVR: A web architecture and platform for seamless DICOM image and volume rendering

Abstract

Quick access to radiological images is important for timely diagnosis and effective patient treatment. In this paper, we present a web-based client–server system for seamless image and volume rendering of DICOM images that provides fast access to the data needed for diagnosis without placing a heavy load on computer resources on the client side. DICOM images are rendered on the server, and the resulting 2D images are sent to physicians who can view and analyze them via web browser. Security of patient medical data is ensured by encryption during storage and transfer. The system’s communication model hides the latency of remote rendering to ensure a seamless experience for the user.
