an introduction
RemotEye is a web-based DICOM image
viewer which allows displaying DICOM studies that are
physically remote with respect to the viewing site and that are
reachable through the Internet or Intranet networks. It allows
retrieving medical images created by hospital's modalities and
stored into digital image archives, displaying them in several
different ways and performing advanced Image Processing
operations on them.

RemotEye can be easily integrated in a Web-based
DICOM-compliant system: it is based on the Java Applet
and Java Web Start technologies, and
it has been designed specifically for being integrated
into third party's Web Applications.

RemotEye now also supports a new integration mechanism, based
on the HTTP and XML standards. This mechanism is particularly suitable
when RemotEye shall be configured as the
viewing front-end
for a DICOM back-end system or archive. In this mode, RemotEye
sends queries to the back-end through the HTTP protocol, based on
the search parameters entered by the user in the search window.
After performing a query on the DICOM storage archive, the server
will send XML-formatted answers to RemotEye, containing the matching
patients, studies, series and images. RemotEye will now be able
to retrieve and display the relevant studies and series, as requested
by the user, even using compression techniques. In order to better
support this new integration mode, RemotEye is now also able to
execute as a
Java Web Start application, in addition
to as a Java Applet.

With its great flexibility and its high number
of configuration parameters, RemotEye is the perfect choice for
application developers and system integrators who are looking
for an add-on providing advanced DICOM
viewing and image processing capabilities to their
medical document management Web Application or Web-based PACS.
On the other side, if you are a final user and you are interested
in a complete web-based PACS solution, please

here to take a look at how RemotEye can be used in combination
with web PACS.
The RemotEye DICOM viewer can be executed inside a common
Web browser (Java Applet mode) or used as a light-weight
web client application (Java Web Start mode), thus enabling
a user with a common Personal Computer and no specific software
installed to view and process both remote and local DICOM images.
Thanks to the Java technology, both the client side and the server
side of the RemotEye system are compatible with a variety
of platforms, including Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris.
Here is a possible usage scenario: a physician (enabled to view
the medical images stored into the hospital's department archive)
may view the medical images wherever he is, both inside and outside
the institution or the DICOM network. He only needs a common Personal
Computer (for instance, a Notebook), a Web browser (e.g., Internet
Explorer or Netscape Navigator) and an Internet / Intranet connection.
If he owns sufficient credentials, he will be able to access the
Web Application and, thanks to RemotEye, to display the relevant
medical images.
The Java Applet technology significantly simplifies the software
maintenance and update: RemotEye is downloaded from the network
every time it is executed on the client PC. Hence, it is sufficient
to update the software on the Web Server and this update will
be automatically reflected on all clients.
