Regarding web access to DICOM images, you folks might be interested in the
new Cornerstone open source project:

https://github.com/chafey/cornerstone

A nice demo can be found here:

http://chafey.github.io/cornerstoneDemo/

Currently the demo only pulls canned DICOM images and displays them, but it
will shortly handle query/retrieve (via QIDO)
storage (via STOW), and local file viewing.

There is also a DICOM parser:

https://github.com/chafey/dicomParser

with examples here:

https://rawgit.com/chafey/dicomParser/master/examples/index.html

Note that these are pure html/js libraries.

Cheers,
Aaron
