XNAT Desktop Client
Requires XNAT 1.7.5 or later
The XNAT Desktop Client is a stand-alone application built with Electron that works with the latest XNAT version to upload image session data with anonymization, and download image session data using a native xnat:// protocol to handle an XML download manifest. The desktop client includes the core functionality of the Upload Assistant, plus transfer management capabilities such as "Pause", "Resume" and "Cancel".

Legacy Applications (Unsupported)
These open-source applications no longer receive updates, and may be limited in functionality, but may still be useful to the XNAT community.
DICOM Browser
DicomBrowser is an application for inspecting and modifying DICOM metadata in many files at once. A single imaging session can produce thousands of DICOM files; DicomBrowser allows users to view and edit a whole session – or even multiple sessions – at once.
Important caveats:
- Does not support DICOM sequences and should not be used as a proof of de-identification
- Only supports DICOM Edit 4.2 and earlier
XNAT DICOM Gateway
Use XNAT Gateway to query XNAT for DICOM images from a DICOM viewing workstation. You can install the Gateway locally and connect to it as to any other DICOM server. DICOM requests are translated into XNAT requests, and the result is returned over DICOM networking protocol.
