OpenRadView opens the DICOM and NIfTI files from your scan CD or zip on your own computer: linked axial, coronal and sagittal views, experimental 3D and measurements. Optional MCP access for your own AI agent. It is a personal research project for education and has not been clinically validated. Ask a qualified clinician to interpret your scans; do not use the app for decisions about care.
I lost my mother recently. She is the reason I started experimenting with this.
After a CT, MRI or X-ray, a radiologist reads the images and you get a written report. The images often come home too, on a CD or as a zip. Many discs include a viewer, but it usually runs only on Windows, so on a Mac you're left with files you can't open. OpenRadView is for people who want to see their own images anyway.
Point it at the disc, the zip or a folder, and it opens the DICOM or NIfTI files on your computer. You get linked axial, coronal and sagittal views, oblique planes, experimental 3D, and distance and angle measurements. No account, no telemetry, no upload.
It's free, open source, and written in Rust with egui and wgpu, so images render on the GPU: Metal acceleration on Apple Silicon, and it works on Windows and Linux with a dedicated GPU too.
There's no AI inside. If you want, an agent you already use, or a local model, can connect over MCP and ask to see a view. Nothing is shared until you allow it, and the agent's replies can be wrong.
It's a personal research project, not certified medical software. If something feels wrong, see a doctor and keep asking questions. Ask a clinician to interpret your scans.
Sorry about your mother. Do angle measurements stay saved with the series? Would be handy to open two scans of the same knee months apart, like after a sports injury.
Really interesting that there's no AI inside and the MCP access is optional. When an agent connects over MCP, does it see a rendered view, or does it work from the underlying DICOM/NIfTI data and measurements? Curious how you keep that boundary so nothing is shared until it's explicitly allowed.
I'm sorry about your mother, and thank you for building this. Most people will never build the tool they need, so it's good to see someone do it and give it away with no account and no upload.
Getting a scan disc home and finding you can't open it on your Mac sounds frustrating. Glad to see a way to look at your own files without uploading them.

Who hunted OpenRadView?
OpenRadView was hunted by Gyorgy. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.

It's an app I hope you never need.
