Objective:
Use the technique of Java Applet to realize the supporting of DICOM image in ordinary Web browser, thereby to expand the processing function of medical image.
Method:
First analyze the format of DICOM file and design a class which can acquire the pixels, then design two Applet classes, of which one is used to disposal the DICOM image, the other is used to display DICOM image that have been disposaled in the first Applet. They all embedded in the View page, and they communicate by Applet Context object.
Result:
The method designed in this paper can make users display and process DICOM images directly by using ordinary Web browser, which makes Web PACS not only have the advantages of B/S model, but also have the advantages of the C/S model.
Conclusion:
Java Applet is the key for expanding the Web browser's function in Web PACS, which provides a guideline to sharing of medical images.

01:26Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...
01:10Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
