What is DicomLite ?
DicomLite is the world's smallest DICOM viewer. It runs without installation on any Windows PC. And the great part is: it's completely FREE! DicomLite can be used to view medical images. Most Dicom viewers available are big, require installation, are expensive and aren't very easy to use. DicomLite has been designed by "doctors for doctors", resulting in a small utility that does exactly what most physicians need: a small program that displays medical images and provides basic functions like zooming, contrast and intensity adjustments. It can be used without installation, making it the ideal solution for viewing images of a patient when you are not working at your own computer. The program is so small, that you can easily keep it in your mailbox or download it when you need it (hence the name DicomLITE!). If you need to include medical images in a presentation, the Batch Conversion option allows you to save images in BMP or TIF format, which can easily be imported in programs like Microsoft PowerPoint.
