LEADTOOLS Filters Help
The LEAD DICOM Reader includes a set of DirectShow filters that register into the Windows collection of multimedia drivers and integrate with any application using DirectShow. Existing video software, such as Windows Media Player and Ulead Media Studio, can utilize these filters to play video (cine) data in a DICOM file.
Key Features:
Can be used with an existing application that supports DirectShow, or programmatically from the LEADTOOLS Medical Imaging toolkit.
Ability to play or Cine any DICOM file with any type of compression, including MPEG-2, lossy and lossless JPEG, and JPEG2000.
Fast and optimized video decompression.
Playback options include control of the stream speed by changing the frame playback rate. In addition to the basic stream and speed control functionality, LEADTOOLS developers can "preview" a LEAD DICOM dataset in memory before saving to disk.
DICOM Cine Playback - DICOM Cine Loop:
A cine loop is the continuous display of a set of images or frames that convey the effect of motion, and is considered a very useful diagnostic tool. With the help of the LEAD DICOM Reader the user can treat DICOM cine as a regular video file:
Play: start or resume DICOM cine play.
Pause: pause DICOM cine play.
Stop: stop play mode and go to the beginning of the video clip.
Previous Frame: display the previous frame in the cine loop.
Next Frame: display the next frame in the cine loop.
