Hi Everybody!

I have a short question. As I am going to develop a very simple applet that is capable of displaying DICOM files for the use in an web application I was thinking of using ImageJ for this task.

All I want to do is display DICOM files that are saved on the server, so there is no need for contacting a DICOM node as this is done by the server. I just want to display them, view the header, alter the contrast and perform some basic measurement operations.

During my research I have come along a basic question. Is there a good DICOM plugin for the use with ImageJ? I mean ImageJ seems to be perfect. It can open DICOM files (as long as they are uncompressed), it can display the header, but what I would need would be a plugin to perform these basic DICOM operations like altering the contrast, zooming, ... You know, the things you do by moving the mouse up and down or from the left to the right. Is there any way to do this in imageJ? Or do I have to write my own plugins?

I would really appreciate your help!

If you can think of a better solution, discharding imageJ, please feel free to tell me! ;)

Thanks in Advance!
Stefan
