In your radiology classes held in the Virtual Anatomy Laboratory (VAL), you’ll engage in radiological studies using DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) images through the ClearCanvas viewer. These anonymized clinical images—sourced from UConn Health’s radiology systems—are securely stored for both in-class and remote access.
- In-Class Access: DICOM images are available on the VAL PCs during your sessions.
- Remote Access: You can access these images outside the classroom via the UConn Health SharePoint site (https://uchc.sharepoint.com/sites/UCH-AITSStudents-ITEnterpriseTechnology/SitePages/CollabHome.aspx), using your UConn Health username and password to login.
ClearCanvas is an open-source medical imaging platform that allows you to view, archive, and manage DICOM images. For more information, visit the ClearCanvas Open Source Project page: clearcanvas.github.io
