Your zip contains subdirectories. You can only upload a directory of images e.g. STD00001. It looks like I’m silent on this error! Unknown why I don’t trickle to interface.
There are dvm viewer image load errors: Error: Cannot append a slice with different number of columns in the STD00001 and 00002 study. Now I’ll still allow the study to render however It is up to the reviewer if the number of missing slices would affect results enough to be unreliable.
There have been numerous new versions of the viewer project since I last addressed this project so I’ll have to research to see if this is a bug or unusual for a study.
I also need to better handle error reporting but at least many are recorded in PHP error load.
I think if you follow @stephenwaite advise for max files and you can only upload a single directory of slices then this issue is resolve at least for current projects capability.
But I’m afraid I do not know how to do this. And if I attempted to follow the advice I can find online (which always assumes knowledge I do not have), it would be a guessing game and I would certainly louse things up.
Could you be so kind as to give me step by step instructions?
Hi @sjpadgett - I’m playing with the viewer and have successfully obtained a display of the dicom image (thanks for the helpful tips!).
My question is, do the controls in the viewer show standardized functions? Like, do the options in that ‘Scroll’ dropdown, and in the other buttons of the blue toolbar show things that people familiar with viewing DICOM images would know what they mean?
I’m writing a tutorial on the viewer as found in the 7.0.2(1) install and I hope I won’t need to self- tutor myself into a radiology tech to explain all the operations.
Hello @sjpadgett Jerry-
Ok, doing more research on the viewer and am prepping an expanded/ supplemental wiki doc.
Just 1 more question (topic): Where the viewer dropdown says ‘Upload from URL’, how does that work? What kind of URLs can it work with, SFTP repos?
I see mention in the forum of an orthanc dicom server providing access by URLs.
The more I play with that thing the better I like it; thanks for putting it together!

Thanks Harley, I had envision PACS integration but again couldn’t get any support from the community to update and finish development.
This was another project, just like our API’s, that were languishing with no attempt to finish integration that I picked up as I thought they’d make a useful impact on the community and freely donated my talents to make them a reality. However the community isn’t willing to support those of us administrators that have help make OpenEMR the fine EMR they see today.
I personally give up trying to convince people from whom we need support. I’m disappointed with several users I’ve helped offline with the agreement they’d donate to the project and then not. I simply couldn’t believe the nerve.
I’m sorry for the rant here Harley but I wanted to express my exasperation with knowing you’d understand.
However because you have contributed so much effort helping the many users on the forum and all the documentation you’ve developed on our wiki, I feel I owe you answers to your post.
I’ve never tested the URL option except URL’s to a DICOM study. However the project is badly in need of attention to bring it up to date and include the several capabilities now available including PACS. This could be a really nice feature with just a little effort. It’s all there.
Also note I know you’ve put considerable effort in documenting the portal and questionnaires and you are most likely frustrated that every time you catch up with the many changes, it changes again. I marvel at your patience concerning this! You can now be assured that since @adunsulag and my latest significant upgrades to the portal, it’s pretty much a lock the new will endure through its lifecycle. However; while pretty the portal still needs sponsors to support meaningful changes for some portal actions. I did review and improve patient registration.
I’m grateful for all your support of me over the years Harley
Hi Jerry @sjpadgett thanks for that response.
You’re welcome for the opportunity to rant and spread the word- every time a chance to do that appears it must be taken, Man.
Of course more better features can always be wished for but since I wrote that prev post I’ve played with it a lot more and I think you have developed this DICOM viewer to the point that it is useful enough to be in production clinical use. I know it’s not certified for diagnostics but it should be good enough to look for indications that something needs further investigation. Now, when people see what might be done with it, maybe they’ll pay to have it improved for their use then donate it to the community.
I need to learn more about DICOM in general but I think I’m going to play with the viewer some more, maybe see if I can make the URL access useful.
Re: the portal, thanks for the reassurance, I’ll wait til the dust settles then document the final revision You’re one of my fave devs to document, and I feel like we’ve spent long hours in a coffee shop together, after translating so many of your application workflows to paper.
Carry on Jerry!
