Hello all,  
I have a question: How can I display cross-sections of a dicom image set (MPR) in a window?

One option is to use [3D Slicer](https://www.slicer.org).You get a full featured medical image viewer (including DICOM import/ export, automatic segmentation, registration, measurements, etc.) implemented in VTK, and it also provides a full Python evironment where you can run your Python code, pip install packages, etc.
