Are there any limitations to using online DICOM viewers?
Online DICOM viewers rely on stable internet connections and modern browsers, which can affect performance with large datasets or high-resolution images. Free versions may lack advanced features like 3D rendering or PACS integration. Security risks exist if the platform lacks encryption or compliance with HIPAA/GDPR. Many viewers are not FDA-cleared for diagnostic use, limiting clinical applications. Additionally, they may not scale well for large organizations, and some platforms have a learning curve for new users. Selecting the right viewer depends on your specific functionality, security, and integration capabilities needs.
