DCMView is a DICOM viewer with multiple featues. DICOM is a standard that defines image transfer and storage protocols for medical image data. DICOM stands for Digitral Imaging in Communications and Medicine. The data stream has a so-called tagged format, with a variable amount of tags (DICOM data elements). A unique group-element identifier defines each element.

• DICOM 3.0, DICOM Raw data (without FileMetaInfo Group)
• Transfer Syntax: Explicit and Implicit VR Little Endian, Explicit VR Big Endian
• Compression: RLE and JPEG (lossless,lossy) (all specified by Transfer Syntax UID as of date of implementation)
• Photometric Interpretation: MONOCHROME1, MONOCHROME2, RGB, PALETTE COLOR
• Bits Allocated/Stored: if BitsStored > 8, the image is scaled to 0%255 range. Nevertheless, the program allows to view any 8 bits of BitsStored selectively that allows to display the information that is otherwise lost.
• Multiple frames
• Parses and displays File Meta Information, Image Pixel Module, Patient Module, Study Module, Series Module and Equipment Module.

• Inverse the image
• Adjust Brightness/Contrast
• Edge Detection: Horisontal,Vertical, OmniDirectional, Canny
• Shift Bits Tool: allows the user to select 8 bits to display if there are more than 8 bits allocated in the Image Pixel Module.
• Play Animation at desired speed or display a specific frame
• Histogram Equalization
• Magnifying Glass
• Image Processing:
• Monadic Arithmetic Operations(Xor, Or, Add, Shift etc.)
• Image Filters(Prewitt, Sobel, Laplacian, Gaussian, Hi-Pass, Sharpen)
• Morphological Operations (Erode, Dilate, Open, Close)
• Geometrical Transforms (mirror about horizontal, vertical or both axes)

• Game Programming at Petroglyph Games
• NASA Glove Box Project
• DICOM Medical Image Viewer
• Pict Analyzer
• CIA (Class Instruction Aid)
