Doctor builds WebMCP-enabled DICOM viewer so Codex can read scans and write reports
iamrobotbear · x · 2026-09-16
- A physician-developer built a WebMCP-enabled DICOM viewer that gives agents like Codex first-class access to the same radiology tools a human user has: reviewing whole studies, annotating key images, and writing simulated reports.
- It handles CT, MR, PET, and X-ray, opens folders/ZIPs/discs locally in the browser with no install, no account, and no uploads; interpretation happens in the agent, not on-device.
- Ships with sample studies including chest/abdomen CT, brain MRI, a 419-slice PET/CT, and cadaveric specimen scans, with 3D reconstructions, MIP, and linked planes. Free to try online, best on desktop.
