“…Currently, there are 3 main technologies for the development of web-based medical imaging apps, namely, Oracle Java, Adobe Flash, and HTML5. Around the 2000s, Oracle Java was a popular internet technology in the field of medical imaging [7][8][9][10][11][12]14,24]. Since 2010, Flash-based imaging apps have appeared, owing to the ubiquity and small size of the Flash Player [13,16].…”

BACKGROUND Internet technologies can create advanced and rich web-based applications that allow radiologists to access easily to the teleradiology system and remotely view medical images. However, each technology has its own drawbacks. Thus, it is difficult to balance the advantages and disadvantages of these Internet technologies and identify an optimum solution for the development of medical imaging applications. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare different Internet technologies for remote viewings of radiological images and analyze their advantages and disadvantages. METHODS Three main Internet technologies, i.e. Oracle Java, Adobe Flash, and HTML5, were used to respectively develop a comprehensive web-based medical imaging application. This application connects to a medical image server and can provides several required functions for radiological interpretation, e.g. navigation, magnification, windowing, and fly-through. Java-, Flash-, and HTML5-based medical imaging applications were tested on different operating systems over a local area network and a wide area network. Three computed tomography colonography datasets and two ordinary laptops were used in the experiment. RESULTS The experimental results demonstrate that Java-, Flash-, and HTML5-based applications have the ability to provide real-time performances for all the provided two-dimensional tools. However, the three-dimensional (3D) performances of the three applications are different. The Java-based application needs the longest time for 3D rendering and the Flash-based application has the lowest frame rate for fly-through. Among these applications, the HTML5-based application is able to provide the fastest 3D rendering and the highest speed for fly-through without platform dependence. CONCLUSIONS Although HTML5 can evoke an excellent performance, it currently suffers from the browser support issue that may lead to inconsistent user experiences. In this case, Adobe Flash is good alternative technology. Both Adobe Flash and HTML5 have their individual strengths in the development of remote access medical imaging applications.

“…For each case two conversions of DICOM images to JPEG images are carried out. The first conversion generates original JPEG image with established "window levels" and "window widths" as the "key image" from the study, while the second conversion allows real time changes of "window levels " and "window widths" (Kamauu et al 2008).…”

Radiology Teaching Files: an Assessment of Their Role and Desired Features Based on a National Survey

et al. 2015

A radiology teaching file (TF) is a system containing a collection of cases with teaching value. Given the wide variety of TF solutions available, we conducted a national survey to better understand the need for TFs, TF features desired by users and their current implementation. A 28-question survey was created which explored TF implementation, utilization, and preferences among respondents. The survey was emailed to residents and faculty throughout the USA, with a request for program coordinators to forward the survey to their departments. The survey was completed by 396 respondents from 115 different institutions. These respondents included 60 % residents, 21 % attendings (non-program directors), 12 % program directors, 5 % fellows, and 1 % medical students. TFs were assigned to one of three categories: personal TFs, shared in-house TFs, and public TFs. Seventy-six percent of respondents kept a personal TF using a variety of media, and 67 % used a shared in-house TF. Of the public TFs used, the most popular were those requiring paid subscriptions. The features respondents valued most provided efficient querying of cases, simulated basic PACS functionality, enabled self-directed learning, and facilitated case submissions. There is a trend toward utilizing electronic media for TFs. The media utilized should be understood and reviewed to ensure PHI is properly secured. Contemporary users demand a high degree of functionality from TF solutions, and use both in-house and commercial products to meet their needs.
