NetraRIS - a Web based DICOM Viewer

Abstract

The need of telemedicine is increasing day by day and online support is crucial to have faster diagnosis. In this paper we try to provide an online teleradiology system consisting of 3D medical imaging which enables web based Surface Rendering of DICOM images and efficient radiology information related hospital management and also discusses about challenges in volume rendering on web. Here we carry out rendering at local client using WebGL, so our system takes benefit of its power, due to this processing because of unreliable hindrances such as network failure is eliminated. The system developed exploits the potential of WebGL due to which accelerated graphics pipeline becomes available which otherwise is not. Developed system enables to view surface rendered multiframes DICOM images with no distortion and resolution selection by user to reduce overheads along with features such as zooming, contrast control, color transformation ,rotate, flip, invert and displays DICOM attributes.
