MiPACS View is a Windows based
imaging application that was designed to meet the needs of a wide
range of medical specialties that deal with images and image analysis.
The application was built around the DICOM
standard and follows the best practices used in
the medical community. MiPACS View has all the capabilities normally
present in a typical radiology workstation at an affordable price.
DICOM
Standard:
Support of the DICOM
standard enables the application to communicate with other medical
devices and DICOM image archives. The user has the option to query
multiple devices for images with many different query parameters
and retrieve them locally or forward them to other devices. The
viewer is also capable of retrieving, displaying and storing most
DICOM images including color and multi-frame with different encoding
schemes and compressions such as JPEG and JPEG 2000. MiPACS View
also has the option to import/export DICOM studies from/to a local
file system or DICOM removable media (DICOMDIR).
Workflow and user Authentication:
MiPACS View also provides user authentication
options, such as application login or Windows login, to meet the
requirements of different practices. A built-in DICOM server service
allows a HIS/RIS or scheduling system to pre-fetch
studies to the station where the physician is scheduled to review
or analyze exams for reporting.
Navigation:
MiPACS View’s graphic user
interface is designed to allow physicians to navigate easily between
studies and images and to quickly create different display
layouts and view types. Image pinning tools allow the user to
mark key images and freeze them for review.
Visualization Tools:
MiPACS View is packed with many
different visualization tools such as interpolated
zoom, pan, window-level,
predefined display LUT,
magnifying glass and
much more. A user can quickly switch between stack, series, and
alternate view modes and link images for cine playback.
Turn off the study and image positioning overlay to have a full
view of the image. The user can also add a display shutter to the
image to reduce ambient light.
Measurements Tools:
MiPACS View provides many different
linear, cross sectional, and volumetric measurement tools. Typical
linear measurement tools
include ruler, cross product, angular measurement, poly-line and
freehand. Cross sectional
and volumetric measurement tools comprise of oval, rectangle,
closed poly-line and closed freehand. It includes region-based calculations
of parameters, mean, standard deviation, variance, median, sum,
pixel count, min pixel value, max pixel value, area, volume, etc.
Analysis Tools:
Many different image analysis
tools such a probe tool
and line profiler are
provided to aid physicians in examining hard-to-find areas of the
image. The viewer also allows the user to sharpen, edge enhance,
and to adjust brightness, contrast, and gamma for an image.
Annotation Tools (Image
markup)
The application includes the
ability to add and store different annotation or image markup objects.
These annotation objects
can later be used for peer review or just plain reminder of findings
in the image. The following annotation objects are included: text,
note, highlight, redact, pointer, and point.
Import/ Export:
MiPACS View can export the images
under a study as a raster format (JPEG, TIFF, BMP etc.), as DICOM
to a local file system, or they can be stored to a DICOM server.
MiPACS View can also import raster images or DICOM images from the
local file system. MiPACS can also query DICOM servers to retrieve
images for viewing and receive images forwarded by other DICOM clients.
Removable DICOM Media:
The application has the ability
to import DICOM studies from removable DICOM media via the DICOMDIR.
It can also export selected studies in DICOM media format with a
free DICOM viewer.
Printing:
MiPACS View can print selected
studies or series with study information to any windows printer.
