Getting started

Load a dataset and learn the workspace in under two minutes.

This guide walks you from “fresh launch” to “inspecting a study”.

Tip The startup screen footer shows the exact build — dcmage <version> · <commit> — where <commit> is the short git revision. Quote both when reporting an issue so the build can be traced precisely; the same commit is attached to feedback submissions.

1. Load a file

• Click Open in the TopBar (or press ⌘O).
• Pick a .dcm or .dicom file, or a folder of them.
• The viewer screen appears with the tag tree on the left.

2. Orient yourself

• Tag tree (left) — every header tag.
• Viewports (centre) — pixel data, if present.
• Right rail — Study / Annotations / History / Audit tabs.
• StatusBar (bottom) — live cursor & tool state.

3. Pick a workflow

• Just looking? Stay in View mode.
• Editing metadata? Switch to Edit and see Edit DICOM tags safely.
• De-identifying? Switch to Anon and see Anonymize a study.

  Tip Press ? at any time and click any element to learn what it does.
