Solution 1:

You should be able to open DICOM files like any other registered MIME type with an intent. I wouldn't depend on "Droid Dicom Viewer" to view your files since it fails more often than it succeeds.

(assumes that sDICOMFile is a string containing the path to the file)

finalIntentdicom_intent=newIntent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
dicom_intent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse("file://" + sDICOMFile), "Application/dicom");
startActivity(dicom_intent);
