Web application to configure Dicoogle, index directories, configure plugins and search the indexed images.
Exporting search results in CSV (Comma-separated values) file that opens in Excel, Google Drive Spreadsheet, and Open/ LibreOffice.
Install Dicoogle
Dicoogle installation is fairly easy it only requires an up-to-date version of the Java Virtual Machine installed, It is easy to run as well using command-line, or use "./DicoogleServer.sh" for running Dicoogle on the server. (Don't forget to change the password upon the installation)

Upon installation Dicoogle installs 2 plugins by default: Lucene which provides indexing and querying of DICOM meta-data, and Filestorage which store and retrieve DICOM file from the current file system.
Dicoogle has development-ready SDK to develop extensions and REST-API, Dicoogle's developers also provided Dicoogle Learning Pack that contains helpful resources/ tutorials on how to develop plugins, built Dicoogle, and debugging.

Medical imaging applications are a necessity in research and clinical practice. However, unlike years ago there are medical imaging specific frameworks that ease the development of medical imaging applications.
As our goal in Medevel.com to create useful resources for the medical apps developers community, here in this article we
Building medical imaging applications has been evolving as the industry demands over the last decade. From creating the application from scratch to medical imaging specific frameworks, platforms and environments. Today's topic is about one of these specific tools: GIMIAS.

While consulting for medical projects over the years and working on some, I collected hundreds of domain-specific libraries and frameworks built to help developers make medical applications. However, many of the libraries were not supported or popular enough to survive as they were abandoned by their creators over the years.
