Abstract:
In this work we present a .net desktop application, developed in C#, for analysis of medical images (mainly CT and MRI). For accessing the manufacturer independent data (e.g., Hounsfield units) stored in DICOM files we employed the Vintasoft. Net SDK (www.vintasoft.com). Our main goal is to create an electronic tool for helping the physician taking decisions in a wide range of medical aspects [1-3]. In this context we started by developing some first instruments of interest: WPF module for 3D image reconstruction, 3D backtracking algorithm for identification of connected voxels, tissues recognition based on statistical analysis of local fuzzy fractal dimension [3-6], etc. Further analyses along those lines are currently in progress.
