A new PowerPoint add-in enables direct use of Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) images in presentations. This tool allows interactive manipulation of medical images, improving presentation quality without complex conversions.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Medical Education
  • Presentation Software

Background:

  • PowerPoint is widely used for presentations but lacks support for the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standard.
  • Converting 16-bit DICOM images to 8-bit for PowerPoint is a time-consuming process requiring manual adjustments for brightness and contrast.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a PowerPoint add-in that integrates DICOM viewing capabilities.
  • To enable interactive manipulation of DICOM images within presentations.
  • To enhance the quality and efficiency of medical imaging presentations.

Main Methods:

  • A PowerPoint add-in was created, incorporating DICOM viewer functionalities.
  • The add-in allows interactive manipulation of 16-bit DICOM image series in stack mode.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Features include scrolling, cropping, zooming, and window width/level adjustments.

    • Main Results:

    • Users can interactively manipulate large DICOM image series directly within PowerPoint.
    • The add-in supports sorting images by location or series and placing multiple series on one slide.
    • Interactive window level adjustments overcome projector-related contrast variations, enabling dynamic display of findings.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed PowerPoint add-in streamlines the presentation of medical images by supporting DICOM.
    • Interactive features enhance the demonstration of imaging findings during presentations.
    • This integration leads to more effective and higher-quality medical imaging presentations.
