0.1. Functionality 

Functions:

Viewing flat images;
Viewing multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) in three planes (axial, coronal, sagittal);
Printing images on paper and film using a DICOM printer;
Previewing series of studies in the main window;
Burning data to CD/DVD discs, locally (workstation) and flash drives;
Mass anonymization of studies and/or sending to a PACS server;
Exporting model to a graphic file or a new series of DICOM images;
The software provides study information (metadata) viewing;
Support and display of PDF data in DICOM files;

Support and display of PDF data in DICOM files;
Support for PACS server, processing Query/Retrieve SCP and C-Store commands.

“Image viewing toolkit”:

The software opens locally saved DICOM format files.
The software is a DICOM client (SCU). It has the ability to interact with DICOM servers via Query/Retrieve services.
The software provides detailed viewing of medical images from the following modalities: RF, DX, US, CT, MR, MG, SR, SC, CR, PT, NM, XA;
