Box DICOM Viewer

The Box DICOM Viewer lets developers store, render, and enable users to collaborate on medical images directly in their applications. This includes DICOM images, such as X-rays, CT scans, Ultrasounds, and MRIs.

The Box DICOM Viewer is a FDA cleared Class II Medical Device for diagnostic viewing and leverages the Box HIPAA compliant content layer. The Box DICOM Viewer allows users to store, view, and share DICOM images on the web or any mobile device. It is a zero-footprint HTML5 viewer and can be embedded into an application in an iFrame or with a Javascript SDK.

Help patients get access to imaging studies without having to burn a CD by embedding the Box DICOM Viewer directly into a patient portal or use it inside second opinion or telehealth applications for a virtual diagnosis. A full set of APIs is available on our Box Developer site.

Community-Supported Projects

On our community-supported projects page, we feature awesome projects built on the Box API by the developer community.

This month we want to highlight a project built by Ken Domen called Box Admin App. This project exposes Box Admin capabilites to Co-Admins through a custom web app. For example, you can use this project to let Co-Admins manage Box device pinning. Box Admin App is built on our Node SDK.
