DNB Atlas

A desktop image viewer and personal case library for radiologists, for Windows and macOS.

In development. DNB Atlas is intended for education and reference. It is not intended for diagnostic use.

Purpose

To give every radiologist a personal case library that works on their own computer, on Windows or Mac.

How it works

  1. ImportPoint Atlas at a folder of DICOM files. It reads each file, identifies patients, studies and series, and handles duplicates.
  2. IndexStudies are recorded in a local library. Files can be left where they are or copied into the library.
  3. OrganiseCases are grouped into albums. One case can belong to several albums.
  4. ViewWindow and level, zoom, pan, and move through slices and series with the keyboard.

Design

Works offline

The viewer and library run on the user's own computer and do not need an account or an internet connection.

Files stay local

Images remain on the user's disk. Atlas does not upload them.

One application, two platforms

Windows and macOS versions are built from a single codebase, so both behave the same way.

A library, not a folder

Each study is an indexed record with its source noted, which makes cases searchable and allows other sources to be added later.

Why it is built this way

Radiologists who teach and study keep personal collections of cases over many years. Those collections tend to live in folders, and the tools for viewing them are often tied to a single operating system.

DNB Atlas is designed to give that collection a proper library on whichever computer the radiologist uses, without requiring a server or an account.
