Multi-factor authentication (MFA) adds an extra layer of security to prevent unauthorized access.
Advanced Tools for Enhanced Analysis
3D Visualization: Generate 3D models from 2D image slices for a comprehensive view of anatomical structures.
4D Imaging: View time-sequenced images to analyze dynamic processes, such as cardiac cycles.
Multi-Planar Reconstruction (MPR): Reconstruct images in axial, sagittal, and coronal planes for detailed analysis.
Segmentation: Identify and isolate specific tissues or structures within images for focused study.
Cine Mode: Play back image sequences as a movie to observe motion and changes over time.
Supports multiple DICOM file types
The software has the capability to open and display studies obtained from different imaging modalities:
Digital Radiography (CR, DX)
Mammography (MG)
Computed Tomography (CT)
Magnetic Resonance (MR)
Positron Emission Tomography PET-CT (PT)
Ultrasonography (US)
Digital Angiography (XA)
Gamma Camera, Nuclear Medicine (NM)
Secondary Pictures and Scanned Images (SC) ( JPEG, PNG)
Export Reports
Many types of DICOM images are supported:
Monochromatic (e.g. CR, CT, MR) and color (e.g. US, 3D reconstructions)
Static images (e.g. CR, MG, CT) and dynamic sequences (e.g. XA, US)
Uncompressed and compressed (RLE, JPEG Lossy, JPEG Lossless, JPEG 2000)
All the Essential Tools Within Reach
ALM DICOM Viewer offers a comprehensive set of basic tools for image manipulation and measurement, including:
Smooth Zooming and Panning: Effortlessly navigate through images with fluid zoom and pan functions.
Brightness and Contrast Adjustments: Fine-tune image brightness and contrast, with a negative mode option.
Preset Window Settings: Optimize views for Computed Tomography (CT) images, such as lung and bone presets.
Image Rotation and Flipping: Easily rotate images by 90 or 180 degrees, or flip them horizontally and vertically.
Segment Length Measurement: Accurately measure the length of image segments.
Parameter Analysis: Determine mean, minimum, and maximum values (e.g., density in Hounsfield Units for CT) within defined areas like circles or ellipses.
Angle Measurement: Measure normal angles and Cobb angles for precise analysis.
Freehand Drawing: Use the pen tool for detailed, freehand annotations and drawings.
Area Measurement: Allows users to outline a region of interest on a 2D image (e.g., a CT or MRI slice) and calculate its area.
Volume Measurement: Extends the area measurement across multiple slices to calculate the volume of a 3D structure.
Distance Measurement: Measures the linear distance between two points, useful for assessing the size of anatomical structures.
PET-CT image fusion
Overlay a color-mapped PET image onto a CT scan to obtain anatomical references for regions with increased FDG (fluorodeoxyglucose) uptake values.
Use the ellipse tool to measure maximum, minimum and average values of SUVbw (Standardized Uptake Value calculated using body weight) in a specified area.
Image fusion can also be applied to other imaging modalities, such as Magnetic Resonance, e.g. DWI images can be fused with T1 or T2-weighted scans.
Summary:
With our state-of-the-art DICOM viewer, healthcare professionals can experience unparalleled diagnostic capabilities and collaboration, all while ensuring top-tier data security and compliance. Embrace the future of medical imaging with confidence and efficiency.
Upon summarizing, using ALM Viewer ( Cloud Based Model ) in clinical examination offers various advantages. It gives a practical answer for specialists who might have restricted financial plans, while as yet offering advanced image investigation highlights and consistent combination with existing systems.
