1.Introduction

1.1Overview of software

This software is used when taking retinal images with Canon Digital Retinal Camera CR-1 Mark II, and it enables the images taken to be browsed, operated, processed, stored, sent to DICOM storage server, exported as DICOM or JPEG format file and, output to a printer.

This software provides SCU functions of the Modality Worklist Management Service Class, Modality Performed Procedure Step Service Class and DICOM Storage Service Class in compliance with the DICOM standards.

This software enables connection to an HIS, RIS or other system, and worklists can be obtained to input study.

This software enables searches and studies using list input and using input from magnetic cards/barcode readers.

When a study is completed, the image data, study information and patient information are saved in the database managed by this software. Studies saved in the database can be saved to any user-selected storage. Studies from this location can also be viewed.

When images are output to the DICOM server or exported DICOM format file, DICOM format images are created with the information stored in the database.

C/D ratio measurement, stereo view, and other operations are available for enabling easy diagnosis of images.
