DispImage: Un mezzo di analisi e presentazione per iconografia medica

DispImage incorporates a number of important concepts. The fact that all metrics are calibrated is of significance. The ability to change display units facilitates adaption to a variety of users and applications. The program is not to be viewed as a stand-alone system. Rather it is intended to integrate with other pieces of imaging software and with the standard tools on the workstation «desk top». This functionality is coupled with a user interface that makes all major functions evident. The functions typically found on a viewing console are made readily available, giving the clinical user a feeling of familiarity. The online help system and paper documentation, whilst comprehensive, are intended to be devices of last resort. DispImage is not intended as a day-to-day clinical tool that might take the place of a clinicians viewing console. Rather it is a development and research tool that can facilitate in the construction and evaluation of systems and techniques. It has proved valuable in numerous application areas and has been used out of preference at some sites where more developed and sophisticated tools have been available.
