How to Cite Weasis in a Publication

Crediting the release the results were read on

If Weasis displayed or measured the images behind a result, cite it in the methods section like any other instrument — at the version you used, since releases differ in what they render and how they compute. The version is shown in the application’s About window and in the installer file name. There is no DOI, so the version, the URL and the date you retrieved it carry the reference.

@software{roduit_weasis,
  author  = {Roduit, Nicolas},
  title   = {Weasis DICOM Viewer},
  version = {4.7.3},
  date    = {2026-08-25},
  url     = {https://weasis.org},
  note    = {Open-source DICOM viewer, EPL-2.0 OR Apache-2.0}
}

If your setup also relies on ViewerHub, weasis-pacs-connector, weasis-dicom-tools or Karnak, cite those separately.

Once the work is out, tell us about it: published studies, hospital deployments and teaching programs that use Weasis are collected in the Stories section, and Get Involved explains where to send yours. Hearing how the viewer is actually used is what shapes what gets built next.
