ViewerHub

ViewerHub is the successor to weasis-pacs-connector. It allows to launch different viewers (such as Weasis, Ohif, 3D Slicer, MicroDicom) depending on search criteria.

This is a server component with an administration interface for managing viewers selection, preferences, plugins, and versions of Weasis with DICOM archives.

Essentially, it simplifies the management of viewers in IT environments and facilitates connections to DICOM archives.

The main features of ViewerHub are:

  • Viewers launch selection depending on modalities and archives
  • Management of Weasis user preferences
  • Control of launch contexts and profiles by user, group, or host
  • Handling of live minor version updates of Weasis at the client side
  • Management of Weasis translation packages
  • Integration with connectors for DICOM archives
  • Configuration of Keycloak clients and token transmission for DICOMWeb or WADO URI calls

Here is a list of pages related to ViewerHub documentation:

  • Imaging Hub

    Install the Imaging Hub for testing or debugging: the services it includes, the prerequisites, the configuration and its usage.

  • Guidelines for development

    Develop and debug ViewerHub, and add launchers for Weasis, OHIF, 3D Slicer or MicroDicom while testing.

  • Connectors

    Configure the ViewerHub connectors that reach your archives — database, DICOM and DICOMweb — and the authentication each one requires.

  • Launch APIs

    The launch APIs allow you to launch Weasis from your own web application with specific parameters.

  • Weasis Manifest

    How ViewerHub builds the manifest that tells Weasis which studies to open, and how the cache is used.

  • Cryptography

    Encrypt the URL search parameters that launch Weasis, so identifiers such as the patient ID never travel in plain text.

  • User Guide

    Day-to-day administration of ViewerHub — how a viewer is selected for a request, and how Weasis packages, versions and user groups are managed.
