How to install kradview

rng · 07-25-2013, 05:36 AM

I am trying to install kradview application in slackware14 full install:
http://www.orcero.org/irbis/kradview/
http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Scien...iew-4587.shtml
It uses kde libs and recommends ./configure, make, make install. There are some slackware packages for previous versions also available:
http://slackware.org.uk/slacky/slack...radview/0.6.1/
http://ftp.arm.slackware.com/slacky/...radview/1.1.0/
http://repository.slacky.eu/slackwar...iew.SlackBuild

What would be the best method to install this application? Thanks for your help.

at a rapid glance it seems to me like a kde3 application so it's not compatible with the present kde.
maybe it can work if installed over trinity but that's a completely unkown route for me...

Hi! I use Aeskulap http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14...hics/aeskulap/
There is also VR-Render, which i actually dont like http://www.ircad.fr/softwares/vr-ren...are.php?lng=en

@longus: I have installed aeskulap also. I will try VR-Render and post the feedback. Thanks.

what 16 bit and 32 bit image formats do you need to be able to use

kradview is a old kde3 app

there might be a newer program depending on just what image format you need

I am interested in viewing medical images for which dicom format is the standard. Aeskulap is a similar application. Other complex tools are also available.

You can try the ginkgo cadx portable app, it works on my current-64

The gimp can handle Dicom too but that's not the perfect viewer

if all you need to do is view then there are many programs
edit and resave as a *.dcm -- that is a different story .

but to read the file
1) gmic -- terminal based lib and program
handles { bool | uchar | char | ushort | short | uint | int | float | double } imaging data
http://gmic.sourceforge.net/

Code:

gmic brain_001.dcm 
--- or the whole folder of images ---
gmic brain_*.dcm

2) Cinepaint -- a bit old but displays 16 bit integer images

3) Nip2 / vips
http://www.vips.ecs.soton.ac.uk/index.php?title=Stable
and can work with multi band data sets
uses the "magickwand" part of imagemagick

4) imagemagick

Code:

display -normalize brain_001.dcm

@JohnVV: Thanks for your interest. From what I could gather, the images are arranged in following order:
* high quality (fixed, still) images are acquired and stored in dicom format
* a series of images form a run or sequence which is like a small movie
* there may be many such movies/runs/sequences for one patient
* the directory or CD may have data of more than one patients
* All above information/metadata as well as patient details is listed/summarized in a file called dicomdir

The software (like aeskulap or kradview) needs to read the dicomdir file and display stored information. It should then allow the user to select and view different runs/sequences or still images of different patients.
