Cornerstone Core is a lightweight JavaScript library for displaying medical images in modern web browsers using the HTML5 canvas element. It is a foundational component of the Cornerstone.js medical imaging platform, designed to be combined with image loaders and tools to build larger applications like the OHIF Viewer.
Use cases
- display DICOM medical images in a web browser
- build a radiology or medical imaging web viewer
- render medical image stacks on HTML5 canvas
- integrate medical image display into a larger web application
- load and view medical images from custom or proprietary formats
- build a PACS study viewer for the web
When to choose
- you need a minimal, unopinionated core for rendering medical images in the browser
- you want full control over image loading, transport, and interaction paradigms
- you are maintaining or extending an existing legacy Cornerstone-based application
When to avoid
- you are starting a new medical imaging project - use Cornerstone3D instead, as this repository is deprecated
- you need GPU-accelerated volume rendering, segmentation, or modern tooling out of the box
- you want a complete turnkey medical imaging application rather than a component library
