| Issue | Impact | Work‑around / Mitigation | |-------|--------|--------------------------| | | Excludes macOS/Linux users who may need a native viewer. | Run via Virtual Machine or use alternatives like Horos (macOS) or RadiAnt (Windows). | | No DICOM‑to‑DICOM anonymization | Sensitive for research data sharing. | Use a dedicated anonymizer (e.g., DicomCleaner) before importing. | | Limited HL7 integration | Cannot automatically receive orders or send back results in HL7. | Use third‑party middleware or integrate through DICOM SR export. | | No advanced 3‑D rendering (e.g., volume rendering, segmentation) | Insufficient for surgical planning or AI model inspection. | Export to dedicated 3‑D workstations (e.g., 3DSlicer) or upgrade to a dedicated 3‑D viewer. | | License tethered to machine | Professional license is bound to a specific hardware ID; moving the license requires re‑activation. | Keep a license backup and follow the vendor’s re‑activation procedure. | | Learning curve for scripting | IronPython/JS API is undocumented in depth for non‑programmers. | Rely on community‑shared scripts from the forum, or request custom plugin development from Medixant (paid). |
