TomoVision 2.0 TomoVison is a Medical Image Viewer for Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP/Vista (tm). Installing TomoVision TomoVision does not require any special installation. Just copy the files in a directory of your choice and use it from there. The User's Manual Using TomoVision is quite straightforward. You can start the program by clicking on its icon and then use the "open file" button to select the image(s) to display, or alternatively, you can "drag and drop" the icon of an image file onto the icon of TomoVision to display that image. Note: TomVision will no longer let you display more than 5 images. Currently, TomoVision reads the following file formats: ======= NEMA family ============ - NEMA-1 - NEMA-2 - SPI - IS&C - DICOM ======= CT =============== - Elscint - Elscint DICOM Lossless Rice - GE CT 9800 - GE Signa 5.x - GE Sytec - GE PACE - Imatron - Philips CT-HDL1 - Philips JUSTFF - Philips SPI - Philips DICOM PMSCT_RLE1 - Picker IQ/PQ - Shimadzu IS&C - Shimadzu SCT - Siemens SPI - Siemens Somatom DR - Siemens Somatom Plus - Siemens Somatom Plus-4 - Toshiba NEMA-1 - Toshiba IS&C ======= MR =============== - Bruker Paravision - Elscint - Fonar - GE PACE MR - GE Signa 3.x, 4.x, 5.x - Hitachi MR HDL1 - Marconi IIF - MRSS - Philips NEMA-1 - Philips SPI - Picker IIF - Shimadzu MR - Siemens SPI - Siemens Numaris-1 - Siemens Numaris-2 - Siemens Somatom AR & Vision - SMIS - Toshiba PD - Toshiba IS&C - Toshiba VF - Varian ======= Ultrasound ============= - Agilent DSR - ATL DEFF - GE KretzFile - HP DSR - Medison Kartesian - Philips DSR ======= Nuclear ================ - GE Advance PET - Siemens ECAT-7 - Toshiba NEMA-1 - Interfile 3.3 ======= XA and X-Ray ================ - Camtronics XA - Fuji CR DICOM - LEAD film digitizer - Lumisys film digitizer - Philips NEMA-2 - Optimed XA ======= Others ================= - Analyze - iScan - Materialise - Papyrus 3 - RAW - JPEG images - TIFF images - Others... TomoVision can also import files from other formats as raw images, as long as they are not compressed... TomoVision is split in 2 windows: The Tools and the Image windows. The Tools window is used to control the parameters of the Image window. From the Tools window you can: - Open multiple image files (max of 5 images); - Select an information overlay to be displayed on top of the image. These overlays show you information extracted from the image header; - Cycle through the open images either one by one or with a cine loop; - Change the scale of the displayed image; - Change the color-map of the image; - View the position and value of the pixel under the cursor if the cursor is over the Image window. The Image window is used to view the Images. If the image scale is such that the image does not fit entirely in the window, scroll bars on the sides can be used to scroll the image, or you can use the left mouse button when the cursor is over the image to "drag" the image. The right mouse button can be used to cycle through the images if more than one images are open. Distributing You are encouraged to pass a copy of TomoVision along to your friends. If you do so, you must provide them with the entire set of TomoVision files.
