Basics

The Basics section is the reference layer of the Weasis documentation. It targets administrators, integrators, and power users who deploy Weasis into a clinical or research environment and need to understand its internals — beyond what an end user needs to know to read a study.

You will find:

  • Architecture — the OSGi-based plugin model, how the application boots, and how a plugin fits into the runtime.
  • Customize — application preferences, integration with a PACS or web portal, and plugin packaging.
  • Shortcuts — the full keyboard-shortcut reference.
  • Commands — the command-line and console catalog ($dicom:get, $image:close, …) usable from scripts, the Weasis console, or remote control.
  • System Resources — heap sizing, file handles, network tuning, and other runtime knobs for large workstations or multi-user deployments.
  • DICOM Conformance — the DICOM conformance statement (SOP classes, transfer syntaxes, services).

If you are deploying Weasis behind a PACS / VNA, see also the Customize → Integration guide and the ViewerHub launcher.
