Chapter 1
Introduction

This manual is a user's guide for our image analysis and post processing software. It includes general information, navigating instructions, tool descriptions, and a tool usage guide. No installation instructions are required.

The DIADISK software is the result of extensive research to come up with a medical image manipulation and post processing software that can operate automatically from a transferable media (i.e., a CD_ROM). Some of its main features are:

§ Compatibility with almost any PC.

§ Minimal computer resource requirements.

§ Does not require installation and does not leave a trace on the computer.

§ High-speed performance allowing for maximum throughput.

§ Includes the most advanced features while maintaining an intuitive, user-friendly interface.

Images are recorded on a CD in compliance with the DICOM standard guidelines for recording images on transferable media. The DICOM standard defines the communication protocol for communicating with different digital imaging modalities thus enabling the manipulation and post processing of the images on:

§ Any PC using CDP’s DIADISK software.

§ Any third party workstation capable of loading DICOM images from a CD.

Every CD-ROM that is produced by the CDP CD-Printer contains:

§ The original medical images in their DICOM format, and

§ The DIADISK software for image manipulation and post processing.

The DIADISK software offers professional image processing tools for most types of image data. Once processed, images can be saved in a standard windows bitmap format for use in a non-medical environment, or they can be copied to the clipboard for convenient pasting into medical reports, presentations, or emails.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Though our CDs can be viewed on any PC operating under the Windows platform, the following configuration is recommended:

§ Minimum 32 MB RAM, preferably 64 MB

§ 17-inch color monitor

§ Super VGA, 1024x768, True Color

§ CD drive

REQUIRED PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE

You must be familiar with the basic functions of a personal computer as well as the Windows operating system.
