Window and level
Drag with the right mouse button, or jump to a preset with a number key. Presets are per modality and per body part, and you can save your own.
Features
Every tool earns its place on the toolbar
The feature list below is what ships in the box. Where something depends on your archive, your licence tier or your hardware, it says so.
Reading & display
The day-to-day tools
What a radiologist touches in the first thirty seconds of a study.
Cine and stack navigation
Scroll wheel, keyboard, or playback at a set frame rate. Multi-frame ultrasound and XA loops play back at the rate recorded in the header.
Linked series
Scroll one series and matching slices in the others follow, using image position rather than index, so series with different slice counts still line up.
Measurements
Distance, angle, Cobb angle, elliptical and freehand ROI with mean, standard deviation, min and max, plus cardiothoracic ratio and vertebral height tools.
Annotations
Arrows, text, and shutter regions saved as DICOM Grayscale Softcopy Presentation States, so they travel with the study instead of living in a private database.
Layouts
1×1 up to 4×4 per screen, spread across as many monitors as the workstation has. Layouts and monitor assignments persist per user.
Key images
Flag images into a Key Object Selection document that the reporting system or the next reader can open directly.
Prior comparison
Priors are fetched by patient ID and matched on modality and body part. Relevant-prior rules decide how far back to look per study type.
Keyboard driven
Every tool has a shortcut, and the map is editable. Users moving from another workstation can load a key map that matches their muscle memory.
Advanced visualisation
Reformat, render, fuse
Volumetric work happens in the same window as the rest of the read, not in a separate application you have to export into.
Multiplanar reformatting
Orthogonal and oblique planes from any isotropic or near-isotropic series, with crosshairs linked across all views. Slab thickness is adjustable on the fly, and the slab can be rendered as average, maximum or minimum intensity.
Volume rendering
Interactive VR with transfer-function presets for bone, vessel, lung and soft tissue. Clip planes and a sculpting tool let you cut away the ribcage or the table without touching the source data. Uses the GPU when one is present.
PET/CT fusion
Independent colour maps and opacity per layer, SUV values read from the header, and a linked cursor that reports both series at the same anatomical point.
Curved reformats
Trace a vessel or the spine and straighten it into a single plane for measurement, with the centre line editable point by point.
Registration
Rigid registration between series of the same patient, so a follow-up study can be scrolled against the baseline in the same frame of reference.
Interoperability
Talks to what you already have
The viewer is a DICOM client first. There is no proprietary intermediate format, no import step that rewrites your pixel data, and nothing that has to be installed on the archive.
If your archive supports both DIMSE and DICOMweb, you can mix them: query over QIDO-RS for speed and retrieve over C-MOVE where the network rules require it.
| Query | C-FIND (Patient Root, Study Root), QIDO-RS |
|---|---|
| Retrieve | C-MOVE, C-GET, WADO-RS, WADO-URI |
| Store | C-STORE SCU and SCP, STOW-RS |
| Worklist | Modality Worklist C-FIND, MPPS |
| DICOM Basic Grayscale and Colour Print Management | |
| Media | DICOMDIR import and export, IHE PDI compatible CD/DVD |
| Transfer syntaxes | Implicit and Explicit VR, JPEG Baseline and Lossless, JPEG-LS, JPEG 2000, RLE |
| Objects | Classic and Enhanced CT/MR, Multi-frame, SC, PR, KOS, SR, SEG, RT Structure Set (display only) |
| Order feeds | HL7 v2 ORM/ORU, FHIR ImagingStudy and ServiceRequest |
A full DICOM conformance statement is available on request and should be read alongside your archive's own statement before integration.
Workflow
Where the study goes next
MedVerse VeuRAI
Dictate straight into the viewer and VeuRAI finalises the report against the study you're on, so the text stays beside the images instead of in another window. A routine study goes from dictation to a report ready to sign in about 30 seconds.
- 1 Dictate while you review the DICOM
- 2 AI finalises the report
- 3 Signed in about 30 seconds
It reads the study's own header for modality, body part and prior comparisons, so the draft arrives in your department's structure rather than as free text you have to reshape. You edit and sign — nothing is filed without a radiologist.
This is the one metered feature: each study you report draws a single case from your pool, and everything else — reading, measuring, comparing — costs nothing. See Pricing.
Or hand off to your own system
If the department already has a reporting platform, launch it with the accession number and study UID on the command line or through a URL scheme, so it opens on the right study without anyone retyping an ID. Works with the common speech-recognition front ends.
Export that matches the request
DICOM to another archive, PDF for the referrer, PNG or JPEG for a presentation, MP4 for a cine loop, and a self-contained CD image for the patient. Each destination remembers its own anonymisation and compression settings.
Read status and assignment
Mark a study as read, dictated or needing a second opinion, and hand it to a named colleague. Statuses are shared through the MedVerse account so a second reader on another machine sees them immediately.
Prefetch rules
Tomorrow's list can be pulled overnight, and priors for scheduled patients can be retrieved before the appointment, so the first click of the morning opens instantly.
Security & governance
Controls you can point an auditor at
Every item below is enforced by the client and configurable centrally, so the policy does not depend on a user remembering to tick a box.
Identity and access
- Sign-in through the MedVerse identity server at login.mvdicomviewer.com.
- Federation to Active Directory, Entra ID or any OpenID Connect provider.
- Multi-factor authentication where your identity provider enforces it.
- Role-based permissions for export, print, anonymise, delete and forward.
- Idle lock with a configurable timeout, and a forced re-auth on resume.
Data at rest and in transit
- Encrypted local cache, keyed per user, with a size and age ceiling set by policy.
- TLS for DICOMweb and for DIMSE where the archive supports secure transport.
- Certificate pinning available for fixed archive endpoints.
- Remote wipe: mark a device and its cache is destroyed at next start-up.
- Audit log of opens, exports, prints and anonymisations, exportable to syslog.
On regulatory status: approvals differ by market. Ask us for the intended-use statement and the certification position that applies in your country before the viewer is used for primary diagnostic reading.
Deployment
Rolling it out to a fleet
Silent install
MSI and EXE installers with unattended switches, a configurable install path, and an optional per-machine or per-user scope.
Pre-seeded configuration
Ship archive definitions, hanging protocols and policy settings in a JSON profile that the installer applies on first run.
Group Policy
ADMX templates for the Windows build so cache limits, export permissions and update behaviour can be locked down centrally.
Update channels
Stable and early-access channels, with the option to pin a version and roll the fleet forward on your own schedule.
Offline licensing
For air-gapped reading rooms, an offline activation file replaces the call home to the licence service.
Logging
Client logs are written outside the application directory and rotate on size, so support can collect them without a reinstall.
See it against your own archive
The quickest way to judge a viewer is to point it at a real study. Download it, or ask for a guided session with one of our integration engineers.
