ViewPlus Features: |
| |
 |
ViewPlus can be used to view angiographic, ultrasound and
IVUS images. Cine runs are selected by clicking on a
hierarchical directory tree that displays Patient, Study, Series
and Image information. Images appear immediately, without any
delay for loading them into memory. Cine loops will be displayed
to 30 fps (or more). |
|
| |
 | There are convenient controls for frame selection:
 | A scroll bar allows absolute frame selection within
the image run. |
 | Arrow buttons allow single-frame jogging in both
directions. |
 | A resettable elapsed-time counter provides event
timing and corrected TIMI frame count. |
 | Scrolling of frames can also be controlled with the
wheel button on the mouse. |
|
|
| |
 | It is very easy to review an entire case quickly:
 | Play buttons allow looping through all cine runs or
repeating a single cine run.
|
 | The display rate can be set to 1x, 1/2x and 1/4x the
recorded rate.
|
 | The display rate and recording rate are both
displayed when the images are in motion.
|
 | A click of the right mouse button will instantly
initiate display of a one second loop at 5 fps for
careful inspection. A second click will resume normal
playing.
|
|
|
| |
 | For additional convenience, most commonly used functions
(such as cine run and frame selection) also can be performed
using the keyboard |
|
 |
 | Biplane image pairs are synchronously
displayed side-by-side. Paired biplane images can be saved
as a single JPEG image or e-mailed. Paired cine runs can
be saved as an AVI file. Biplane linkage information is
preserved with anonymization of DICOM CDs. |
|
| |
 | ViewPlus automatically optimizes itself for computer display
resolution. Any matrix size and pixel depth (up to 16 bpp)
can be displayed. |
|
| |
 | Zooming and panning are accomplished with the click of a
mouse on both moving and still images.
|
|
| |
 | There is a full selection of image enhancement controls:
 | Positive/Negative |
 | Brightness |
 | Contrast |
 | Gamma |
 | Edge Enhancement |
|
|
|

|
 | There is an Auto mode where brightness and contrast are
automatically adjusted for each cine run in order to
optimize image appearance. |
|
| |
 | Images can be "flipped" both horizontally and vertically in
order to obtain correct orientation. |
|
| |
 | If calibration grid data are included, the grid optionally
can be displayed either as lines or points. (This feature is
particularly useful for ultrasound images.) |
|
 |
 | Digital Subtraction using a mask consisting of a single
frame or the average of several frames. |
|
| |
 | Images can be easily printed or saved (all
image enhancements, including subtraction and automatic
optimization are applied to these images):
 | Single images together with Patient, Study, Series
and Image information can be printed on a convenient
single-page report. |
 | Images together with Patient, Study, Series and
Image information can be sent by e-mail. |
 | Images can be copied to the Windows clipboard for
inclusion in documents, presentations and databases. |
 | An entire cine run can be converted to a Windows AVI
file for multimedia presentations. Many image-size and
compression options are available.
|
|
|
| |
 | DICOM image files can be easily recorded onto a
CD or DVD. Each CD or DVD
also includes a copy of ViewPlus Lite, so it can be viewed
on any Windows computer without the need for an installed
DICOM viewer. |
|
| |
 | As an option, all identifying information can be removed
from the image files copied to a CD or DVD, protecting patient
confidentiality. Multiple masks can also be added to each image
in order to obscure identifying information that has been
"burned" into the images. |
|
| |
|
| |
 | ViewPlus will run on Windows 2000,
Windows XP (32 bit) and Windows 7 (32 bit). It will run equally well on laptops and
workstations. A medical device company has installed ViewPlus on its representatives' laptop computers for use in
demonstrating new technology and techniques to physicians.
|
|
| |
|
| |
 | ViewPlus is updated frequently to make it compatible with
new DICOM systems. If a customer submits a Cardiac DICOM CD
that ViewPlus will not play, typically I will have an updated
version of ViewPlus available on this web site within 48
hours.
