A. Operation modes & real time functions
▶ Real time Fluoroscopy
▶ Real time variable Contrast and Brightness
▶ Real time Image Processing ( FUMA )
B. Memory & Database ( which depends on the modality characteristics )
▶ Acquisition up to 25 frames/sec
▶ 50 cine-loops (1 cine-loop = 200 images) are stored in temporary memory before saving it in permanent storage. Hence an addition of about 10,000 images to the total memory mentioned in next point.
▶ Total storage : 25,000 images + 405 cine-loops or 105,000 images for permanent storage in basic system
▶ Storage of cine-loops with frame by frame viewing and images.
▶ Auto run of the cine-loop.
▶ Patient information database to store, manage, retrieve patient, procedure, image and cine-loop information stored in the system.
▶ Image Mosaic or Multi-map to allow thumbnail viewing of images for quick access.
▶ Query the database using key words.
C. Post Image Processing
▶ Image rotation controls (every degree rotation)
▶ Zooming
▶ Measure (length)
▶ Image inversion (Mirroring or Flip)
▶ Thumbnail images which help in easy view of all the frame in a cine-loop.
▶ Negative and positive.
▶ Image Annotation like
a. Image Header
b. Image footer
c. Text on image
d. Drawing objects on image.
▶ Variable edge sharpness.
▶ Noise reduction filters.
▶ Variable windowing (Contrast and brightness control)
▶ Pseudo coloring (6 types of predefined color lookup tables)
D. Back up
▶ CD writer
▶ CD publisher (Backup CD can be viewed on PC)
E. Image format conversion
▶ JPEG, BITMAP, TIFF
▶ AVI (Video)
F. Additional features
▶ The user-friendly Graphical User Interface makes its operation simple allowing more people to utilize the system with out extensive training.
▶ Analog output for multi format and laser camera.
▶ Acquisition time of 17 seconds at 12 frame/sec, 12.5 seconds at 16 frames/sec.
G. Upgradeability
▶ To DSI (Digital Spot Imaging System)
▶ To DSA (Digital Subtraction Angiography) – under development
H. DICOM
▶ Write DICOM CD
▶ DICOM Print
▶ DICOM Send
▶ DICOM Viewer
