Comparison
A MicroDicom alternative for portable, no-admin review
MicroDicom is a popular free Windows viewer with a portable build. If you want the same “open it anywhere” convenience plus a managed case library and cardiology measurements, here’s how PortaDICOM differs.
What they share
Both open the common DICOM modalities on Windows, and both can run without a full installation — handy for patient CDs and shared PCs.
What PortaDICOM adds
PortaDICOM is shipped on a 2 TB SSD with an organized, deduped case library and one-click backup, so it’s not just a viewer — it’s your portable archive. It also adds a cardiology toolkit aimed at the cath-lab, and decodes JPEG-Lossless and JPEG-2000 angiography cine from scratch.
- 2 TB on-device case library with backup
- Cardiology: % diameter stenosis, TIMI frame counting, AHA segments, pre/post-PCI compare
- Licensed per device — the drive can’t be freely copied
- Direct support from the Hirovix team
