Hi Mark,

Here is my -very biased- answer:

http://apps.sourceforge.net/mediawik...y_Applications

I am the main author behind GDCM. GDCM is a DICOM implementation
which mostly focused on the visualization part of DICOM. Used in
conjunction with ITK & VTK (=Osirix), you should be able to create
nice applications as listed on this page. Of course you need to know
VTK to make quick progress.

You are welcome to join the GDCM mailing list and check how much
time and effort the other spend learning GDCM / VTK / ITK

I should add that http://openxip.org choose VTK and dcmtk for the
combination. With dcmtk you'll get the networking (not present in
GDCM).

While I have only passing familiarity with the Osiris software, it is
avaialbe for both Mac and Windows platforms. Is there a reason that
the Windows version is unacceptable for you purposes? If so, can you
identify what you would want in a viewer? There are a gazillion free
DICOM viewers in the world, most of which are usable for some
purposes. A bit of additional guidance would probably give you more
targeted responses.

I think the OP was refering to OsiriX (not osiris): www.osirix-viewer.com/

It is written in Objective-C using Cocoa, this might be portable to
GNUStep (wild guess) but definitely not on win32 system.
