Introduction
• Increased digital medical equipment availability that produce DICOM images
• Applications for Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD)
• Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS)

Web-PACS
• Enable to query PACS server from a Web Site• Only need a WEB browser

Medical images Web Viewer
• Web browsers do not have capacity to display DICOM studies
• Web-PACS includes DICOM viewer• Java, Flash, ActiveX

Medical images Web Viewer
• Time-to-display (TTD) • Lossless Compression 1:3• Lossy Compression 1:100• Progressive image transmission (PIT)• Deployment

Dcm-Ar: System Architecture
• WADO (Web Access DICOM Objects)
• Easy Web PACS Viewer integration
![Page 7: DICOM INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE & SEMINAR Oct 9-11, 2010 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil WADO: a useful tool for remote visualization of large DICOM files Bmed](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062417/55178af25503463e368b5499/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Dcm-Ar Client
• Developed in OpenLaszlo -> Flash App.
• Has implemented the PIT strategy

Dcm-Ar Client
• Image divided in fixed size tiles
![Page 9: DICOM INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE & SEMINAR Oct 9-11, 2010 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil WADO: a useful tool for remote visualization of large DICOM files Bmed](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062417/55178af25503463e368b5499/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Dcm-Ar Client
• IOPIT Interactive - Optimized PIT
![Page 10: DICOM INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE & SEMINAR Oct 9-11, 2010 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil WADO: a useful tool for remote visualization of large DICOM files Bmed](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062417/55178af25503463e368b5499/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Dcm-Ar Server
• Multithreads Java2EE Application.• Use Dcm4Che library• Run over Jetty Java Servlet Container
Tasks:– get images from PACS– make image tiles– send to client requested data information and tiles– manage image data cache

Results
• Multiplatform system has developed
• Reduce TTD in:– 14 times than RAW images– 5 times than PNG (lossless) images
E.g. Image 25Mb
Bandwidth 512kbps ~=64 kb/s
Raw 400s ~= 06:40
PNG 80s ~= 01:20
IOPIT 26s ~= 00:26

Future Works
• Development of Web-PACS viewer using WADO• TTD strongly reduced -> IOPIT technique• Suitable solution for:
– rural areas with narrow Internet connections– emergency or disasters situations– remote online diagnostics
Future works• Build generic WEB-PACS that work with any DICOM
PACS server• Adapt the viewer solution for mobile devices

Future Works
Thank You...
PD1: Apologizes for my rude english...
PD2: Rio is a great place for a congress
PD3: you can ask me whatever you want... probably I do not have all the answers, but I
can give you my email address :)
