Viewers: Is there any way to open NIFTI format file in the OHIF viewer?

a good question

Hello,
I want to open CT images in .nii format. I tried to convert it to DICOM and open in the viewer but faced some errors(conversion manipulates original data) so I want to know if there is any way to load NIFTI format image in the viewer.

Thank you

Hello,

I am not sure there is an easy way. Though you could write an extension that could read and display nifti images, with a specific viewport. There is a cornerstone loader to read nifti https://github.com/cornerstonejs/cornerstone-nifti-image-loader

It requires a little bit of work to understand how an extension can be implemented.

A blocking point is how the nifti file is going to be handled, as OHIF only works with DICOM files.

@rlaxodnjs199, there is not a well defined path today. The core team does have some experience modifying the viewer to work with NIFTI data sources, but we don't have anything planned (or funded) to support that functionality near future.

We do have some upcoming changes that make it easier to add support for different data sources.
