Choose the workflow that matches where your DICOM data live and how you want to launch the viewer.
Inspection workflows
Section titled “Inspection workflows”- Inspect images in the viewer — navigate logical series, adjust presentation, browse tags and references, and interpret semantic or WSI context conservatively.
- Inspect a study over SSH — keep the unauthenticated server on remote loopback and forward it to a local browser.
- Launch dcmview from Python — use blocking, non-blocking, and context-managed sessions from scripts and notebooks.
- Open DICOM data in VS Code or Cursor — use the extension, custom editor, commands, and integrated-terminal bridge.
- Work with ROI annotations — load, edit, validate, and export in-memory EMBED-style rectangles.
All workflows start the same self-contained Rust viewer. The architecture concepts explain how its CLI, Python, VS Code, server, and browser layers relate; the reference records exact flags, parameters, settings, and formats.
