| Usage of the Hipax System
Image Data Acquisition
Using the Hipax system, image data can be imported
from different modalities.
Receiving DICOM 3
images, e.g. from CT or MRI
Direct
image reception from CR systems
Digitizing
X-ray images using scanners (Hipax WS 4)
Video
grabbing (Hipax WS 4)
Reading
cardiac DICOM CDs
Image import/export
Image Processing
Different tools are available for image processing
and optimization
All types of medical images (CR, US, CT, MRI,
cardiac cine-loops, etc.)
Image
optimization, subsequent processing (window levelling, filters)
Image
processing (window leveling, dynamics, etc.)
3D
image processing (Volume Rendering, MIP, MinIP,
MPR) (Hipax DW)
Multiplanar
reconstruction (Hipax DW)
Measurements
Printing
on DICOM printer or standard printer
Diagnostic and Viewing
The images can be viewed or shown in lectures, conferences
or X-ray demonstrations. Diagnoses can be made using special monitors.
Monitors for diagnosis must be certified according to the of the Guideline
93/42/EEC of the Council of Medicine Products.
Single monitor, dual and multi monitor stations
(Hipax WS 4)
Mammography
diagnosis (Hipax DW)
Presentations
of images in conferences, lectures, or demonstrations (Hipax
WS 4)
Image Output
Images can be handed over to the patients or
other doctors as a film printout. To save costs, the images can also
be printed in high quality on paper or written to CD.
Film printouts
Paper
printouts using the Hipax workstation
Paper printouts
(in)directly from the DICOM modality using the Print Server module
of the Hipax DICOM
Print Manager
DICOM
Print Management
Multimedia
Patient CD
DICOMDIR-CDs
Patient
CDs produced automatically using a CD robot
Archiving
Archiving images on external disks (CD, DVD,
BD) or online (RAID, NAS)
Local
PC archive or server archive solution
Archiving
manually or automatically using a jukebox
Lossless
compression (factor 2-3)
Water
level measurement
Image Administration
Own administration system for images, patients,
and worklists
Interfaces
to integrate patient administration systems of other manufacturers
Worklist
management
DICOM
Integration
Network
Scalable from a single workstation to a network
DICOM
Communication
Mini
PACS
Server
technology
Possible
tasks of Hipax in a PACS
Web
Access to view images using a Browser
Telemedicine
Transmission of all types of medical images (single
images, series, cine-loops, etc.)
Transmission
of documents, sound files and film files
Changing
images with systems of other manufacturers via DICOM, DICOM Email
Different
steps of compression (lossless, lossy)
Using different
communication techniques (dsl, radio, satellite)
Teleconference
for the discussion and processing of common images by up to 16 physically
separated participants
The section "Hipax
in Practice" contains several examples for the different uses
of the Hipax system.
