Hi I am using Papaya to view DICOM images. I have a segmented set of DICOM images whose segmented structures I can view using this software called dicomplyer( http://www.dicompyler.com/).

I can see the segmented structures on that software by clicking the structure names. Is this possible using papaya? When I upload the DICOM image set, it says no pixel data found. Or is it a problem due to the formatting of the segmented images itself? Can someone help me ?

I think you the segmented data you are referring to is a DICOM RT Structure Set. This type of file is segmented as a series of contours in patient coordinate space and does not consist of any voxel data.

According to the papaya forum, it isn't currently supported: http://rii.uthscsa.edu/mango/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=379&sid=2a8c8f942b6fbf3f15b537b5a69a5362

  • Thank you @bastula. Would you know if there are any open source web based DICOM RT viewers? that would help. – chrisrhyno2003 Oct 31 '15 at 00:39
  • Not at the moment. There are other HTML5 based DICOM image viewers like [Cornerstone](https://github.com/chafey/cornerstone), but none support DICOM RT. I suppose one could write a plugin or contribute the necessary code to make it happen with any of these projects. The only open source DICOM RT viewer is dicompyler, which you have already used. However it is a desktop application. – bastula Oct 31 '15 at 02:34
  • Can we integrate dicomplyer with a web based viewer? Would that be possible @bastula ? – chrisrhyno2003 Nov 02 '15 at 14:59
  • It can't be integrated in it's current form, but one could port the code from Python to Javascript for one of the above mentioned image viewers. – bastula Nov 03 '15 at 16:54
  • I am trying to do that. Would you recommend PyJS for the porting ? – chrisrhyno2003 Nov 03 '15 at 17:24
  • I don't think this is the right place to answer that, but please feel to contact me offline. – bastula Nov 03 '15 at 17:41
  • Sure that would help. Thank you. – chrisrhyno2003 Nov 03 '15 at 18:05
