How to view DICOM images


Hi

Code:
System info:
# cat /etc/os-release 
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="20.04.6 LTS (Focal Fossa)"
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS"
VERSION_ID="20.04"
HOME_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://help.ubuntu.com/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/"
PRIVACY_POLICY_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/legal/terms-and-policies/privacy-policy"
VERSION_CODENAME=focal
UBUNTU_CODENAME=focal
I have just received some MRI/X-ray images which are in DICOM format. It came in a zip file with a directory format that looks like:
Code:
$ ls -1
Autorun.inf
gplv2+ce.txt
IMAGES
jre
Licence.txt
NT209027297.zip
Readme.txt
viewer-mac.pdf
viewer-windows.exe
weasis
As you can see there are viewers provided for MAC and Windows, but not linux.
After some searches I installed amide, which I think should allow me to view them, but I have no idea how to use it to view existing images.
Does anyone know how I can view DICOM images using Amide ? I have tried to import what I think is an image file, but it just seg faults.

Alternatively the Readme.txt file mentions weasis and there is a weasis directory that came with the .zip. It looks like this:
Code:
$ ls -1
bundle
bundle-i18n
conf
felix.jar
felix.jar.pack.gz
resources
substance.jar
substance.jar.pack.gz
weasis-launcher.jar
weasis-launcher.jar.pack.gz
Presumably somewhere in there there is a means of installing and running weasis, which would allow me to view the images.
Would anyone know where I can find out what I would need to do to go about doing that ?

I did manage to install weasis by downloading a .deb file and I can run it up, but I still have no idea how I can load an image in to it.

Ok. It looks like you can got to File->Import, select "DICOM zip" in the lect hand menu, then press 'Select a file' button to browse to the DICOM zip file and import it. This allows you to view the images.
