E-ViewBox Project: The electronic négatoscope .
The Java language makes it possible to consider the distribution of images DICOM with an application or an applet allowing their visualization and their processing.
We thus developed a project of software, including/understanding a station server located at the level of a service of radiology which would allow the distribution of images in a network and by D-CRom.
Drank project:
To solve the problem of the digital transmission of the images in medical environment.
In English, viewbox or lightbox = négatoscope, E: electronics.
What does EViewBox:
It is composed of two elements:
Why the networks do not develop?
|
Problems |
|
| Acceptance by the doctor: the film can be seen everywhere including with the block, not need for a computer. | Not to remove film, but to decrease it (less not very significant stereotypes) |
| Acceptance by the radiologist, operations additional, change of practices. | To try to make this solution simplest possible.
The ideal = transparent coupling with film, cad 1examen ÇD Rom. |
| Slowness and of availability of the networks. | Compression, CD rom gravable |
| Level of the reader: no the universal reader of format DICOM. | Very powerful a Dicom applet or an application. |
| Interfacing with machines DICOM (strength to the level of the large manufacturers and film salesmen) | A problem to be regulated!!! |
| Acceptance by the patient | Not to remove film. To provide a D-CRom |
Interests of the eViewBox application :
- Preserve the original format of the data which remain intact (format DICOM).
- Soon conforming DICOM (Storage Class To use) (Condition: to read the DICOMDIR and to emit " Conformance Statement ".
- Function as an applet some is the platform on Internet Explorer or Netscape.
- Compactness in memory (120 Kilooctets)
- Allows all the functionalities of a traditional console scanner (measurements, rebuildings 2D and perhaps 3D)
Disadvantages of the application:
- Written in java (still a little slow on certain platform (Sun, Mac))
- Not yet conforming DICOM, because does not decipher the DICOMDIR.
- Miss the functions 3D.
- Do not decipher all formats DICOM (not the color, not compressions)
- Do not function in 16 bits but in 8 bits.
