Open-source 3D medical imaging viewer

What's new in this version

DICOM3D v0.6.5 — Visual Research Workstation
From Pixels to Meaning.

DICOM3D v0.6.5 introduces an expanded, desktop-first visual research workstation combining interactive 3D reference anatomy with source-linked medical imaging.

What's New

Integrated anatomy workstation: Explore generalized male BodyParts3D and female HRA reference anatomy through a unified three-zone interface.

Scientific, Holographic, and Materialization presentations: Switch between anatomical visualization styles while preserving underlying source geometry and identity.

Expanded anatomical exploration: Access 386 male and 380 female selectable source-backed anatomical groups, with search, selection, visibility, isolation, and restoration controls.

Anatomical layers: Explore system-level visibility, opacity adjustments, and source-backed skin peeling.

Research CT/SEG visualization: Inspect the curated public H000 chest CT study with source-linked segmentation, frame navigation, and interactive 3D visualization.

Improved desktop layout: Refined workstation composition, navigation, and contextual controls.

Improved asset distribution: Lossless chunking of the female HRA model preserves original asset integrity while supporting GitHub distribution.

Docker and IPM packaging: Locally qualified installation and runtime paths, with documented deployment limitations.

Research Integrity

DICOM3D preserves source identities, anatomical geometry, and evidence provenance. Generalized reference anatomy is independent of acquired patient imaging and is not registered to individual studies.
The application remains research-only and is not intended for clinical diagnosis or medical decision-making.
Downloads and Documentation
The GitHub v0.6.5 release includes the Safe Demo archive and Core source archive, with verified SHA-256 digests.
GitHub Release: https://github.com/KennethJSmithDev/DICOM3D/releases/tag/v0.6.5
Source Repository: https://github.com/KennethJSmithDev/DICOM3D
Licensing
Application code is licensed under Apache 2.0. Generalized anatomy assets retain their separate Creative Commons licensing, attribution, and historical source notices.
Coming Next
Development continues toward deeper interoperability, source-linked evidence review, and AI-assisted research workflows. These capabilities are not included as qualified features of v0.6.5.

DICOM3D

Live Demo · v0.6.0 Native Install · v0.6.0 Docker Quick Start

v0.6.5 — Visual Research Workstation. From Pixels to Meaning.

DICOM3D is an open-source, desktop-first research workstation for exploring generalized anatomy and viewing source-linked CT and segmentation. Use Scientific, Holographic, and Materialization modes to change the presentation while retaining the source geometry.

The Live Demo opens directly in a desktop browser with WebGPU. DICOM3D is research software for visualization and learning. Clinical use and production PACS integration are outside its qualified scope.

Downloads

v0.6.5 Safe Demo and Core source. The Safe Demo ZIP runs locally with Node.js 24 and includes the optional public CT example. The Core ZIP contains source for the reference workstation. v0.6.5 downloads and launch instructions
v0.6.0 Core/Docker and IRIS/IPM. The qualified installation archives contain reference anatomy. The Core build runs independently. The IPM package uses the protected IRIS for Health viewer. v0.6.0 downloads · Installation guide · Packaging provenance

See the changelog and release history for earlier checkpoints.

Experience and evidence

Explore reference anatomy. Select from 386 BodyParts3D male and 380 HRA female source-backed groups. Use source-preserving selection, visibility, isolation, opacity, camera controls and restoration. The references have different sources, partial anatomical coverage and no registration to a patient study.

Choose the presentation. Scientific mode displays source-oriented materials; Holographic mode provides controlled cyan translucency; Materialization offers bounded source-derived assembly effects and reduced-motion controls. These affect presentation only, not anatomy, measurements or medical evidence. See the historical v0.6.0 female anatomy and materialization screenshots.

Explore the public CT example. Select Explore public CT example in the Live Demo to load the curated H000 study, including source CT frames, segmentation contours, and a linked 3D lesion view. Generalized anatomy has no registration to the study. Public research data policy

Public H000 CT/SEG source and 3D views (v0.6.0 workstation captures):

Learn in context. The Learn workspace explains active structures, source identity, rendering choices, limits and attribution alongside the experience. See the historical v0.6.0 contextual learning capture.

Open verified local CT accepts a verified volume descriptor and its stored pixels. The files stay in the browser. The manifest records semantic identity, spatial transforms, and provenance. GLB carries derived geometry, and Babylon Lite renders the presentation. Architecture

Build from source

Use Node.js 24 and the pinned viewer dependencies.

npm ci --prefix viewer
node scripts/build-demo.mjs --profile curated-h000
node scripts/test-demo.mjs --profile curated-h000
node scripts/preview-static.mjs --root .demo-dist --port 0

Open the loopback URL printed by the preview server. The default build profile includes reference anatomy. The curated profile also includes the five approved CT/SEG research files. Safe Demo build guide
