DICOM 3D Medical Image Modeling (DMIM)

Nowadays, patients are sent to MRI, PET, and CT scans more than before. Each scan produces a large amount of information of a patient, normally as a set of 2D slices, that will be inspected by a doctor or a technician. The project aims to visualize any DICOM images by creating a 3D model in addition to the classic slice-by-slice inspection.

Installation

This tutorial uses Conda and PIP. Please make sure to install them before you proceed the next steps.

1. Create virtual environment with the following instruction:

$ conda create -f environment_mac.yml

This will create a new environment named “DMIM”.

2. Activate the new DMIM environment by typing:

$ conda activate DMIM

3. Clone the repository and enter the directory:

$ git clone https://github.com/tgurgui/Visualization-DMIM.git
$ cd Visualization-DMIM/

4. Open new terminal window, create a folder for mongo data () and start MongoDB:

$ mongod

5. Finally, run the website from the repository main folder:

$ FLASK_APP=app.py FLASK_DEBUG=1 python -m flask run

6. The website should be available at http://localhost:5000/

A successful installation will result in the following index page:
