Project Description

Objective

• Review the state of the art in medical imaging web apps
  • Follow on from the MIWS Hackfest at BWH.
  • Discuss subsequent developments and ideas
• Consider various use cases:
  • Pure web browser application
  • Web browser + remote compute or rendering services
  • Web App widgets used in desktop application (e.g. via QtWebKit/QtWebEngine in Slicer/MITK/MeVis)
• Topics
  • Native JavaScript code for DICOM IO, Rendering, Processing
  • Organization of toolkits and libraries
  • Interacting with the community of like-minded developers

Approach, Plan

• Discuss recent developments cited in the Objective section
• Identify more valuable development priorities
  • provide useful functionality (e.g. improved DICOM patient/study/series/search browser)
  • probe any outstanding issues (e.g. test scalability or performance questions)
  • establish paradigms for ongoing development
• Finalize a prototype showing JS-C++ interaction replacing the CTK DICOM Browser Widget with a web-technology based implementation
