[mitk-users] Slow DICOM loading

[Tyler B. <tbr...@wi...>]

I have MITK 2015.5.2 installed on my Windows PC and loading DICOM series is very fast. When I installed MITK 2015.5.2 (or 2016.03.0) on my Windows laptop, loading DICOMs was painfully slow - probably 20 times slower than on my PC. It takes several minutes to load a DICOM series, which is not practical for regular use. But it's not just my computers, I've recommended MITK to several colleagues, and more than half of them have experienced the extremely slow loading times. Any idea what's going on? I would like for more of my lab to be able to migrate to MITK.

Other info:
-I'm primarily using PET and CT DICOM images
-My PC: i7-6700 CPU, 32 GB RAM, SSD hard drive, NVIDIA graphics card
-My laptop: i-5 CPU, 8 GB RAM, SSD hard drive, integrated graphics
