MyFreePACS: a free web-based radiology image storage and viewing tool.
OBJECTIVE
We developed an easy-to-use method for central storage and subsequent viewing of radiology images for use on any PC equipped with Internet Explorer.


CONCLUSIONS
We developed MyFreePACS, a program that uses a DICOM server to receive and store images and transmit them over the Web to the MyFreePACS Web client. The MyFreePACS Web client is a Web page that uses an ActiveX control for viewing and manipulating images. The client contains many of the tools found in modern image viewing stations including 3D localization and multiplanar reformation. The system is built entirely with free components and is freely available for download and installation from the Web at www.myfreepacs.com.
