SMooTH Viewer (full XDS & DICOM)

The J4Care SMooTH Viewer is an advanced multi-functional viewer, that can be used for various purposes in the daily medical practice, including full diagnostic situations. It is fully web-based and does not require any installation at client-computers. It runs through any modern web-browser, enabling fast and easy access to images, documents, EMR-data etc.


​Image access

SMooTH Viewer enables access to your content from everywhere at any time.

Based on Web 2.0 it allows users to view and edit all the content available in your enterprise even from remote locations. 
For our customers it serves as Patient Portal to give the Patient direct access to it's information.

Additionally it can be easily included into other portals or viewers.


​Clinical viewing

Distribution of Clinical Content into different departments was always a problem for our customers. 
They always had to use multiple applications to get access to all of their content which created a lot of resistance on using existing systems.

With SMooTH Viewer we created a way to give our customers access to the content from a single application which finally allows them to look at all the content at the same time from the same application and combine this data to increase patient care quality.


​Diagnostic workstation

The SMooTH Diagnostic Workstation is a web-based (zero-footprint) fully-certified diagnostic application. To this end, the SMooTH Viewer supports:
  • Zoom, pan, rotate, flip, reset, invert
  • Window-width/Window-level (local, region, image, predefined etc)
  • Various measurements including distances/lenghts, regions, areas, 3/4 point angles, HV values, histograms etc.
  • Annotations like points, circles, polygones, curves, text, arrows
  • Full LUT support (Modality LUT, VOI LUT, Palette Color LUT,etc)
  • Automatic retrieval of priors
  • Fully automated hanging protocols
  • Multi-monitor support
  • Structured reports
  • Rulers
  • XDS Connectivity
  • DICOM and non-DICOM Support
  • ...

Complete

The SMooTH Viewer supports a very broad range of information types, enabling the viewer to show complete EMRs including images, documents etc. Data/image types include:
  • DICOM images (all SOP classes) including CT, MR, mammo, cardio-echo, XA etc)
  • JPEG's
  • Video (AVI, MPEG4)
  • WAV
  • PDF
  • Word
  • CDA
  • CCD
Using the inbuilt search connectors it is possible to even display data coming from multiple departments (federated/distributed searches) and combine it on one screen.

3D

With 3D as an optional plugin SMooTH Viewer goes beyond web viewing. 
There are different modules that will provide the most important 3D views:
  • MIP
  • MPR
  • DVR
  • combined MPR/DVR
  • RTStruct/RTPlan support
  • ...


Additionally the renderings can be exported easily for education or presentations.

Adaptive

SMooTH Viewer can be easily adapted to individual preferences of organisations, users and user-groups. Using a hierarchical role model it is possible for each role to define the functions that should be available. On individual user level, deviations within a group are even allowed to make the configuration as granular as possible. Some examples of elements that can be adapted/configured:
  • Worklists (predefined sets, layouts, columns etc)
  • Default set of Worklists per user(group)
  • Worklist filters
  • Interface Language (German,English,French,Finnish,...)
  • Full hanging protocols for viewing images and documents (configurable per modality type, body part etc)
  • Viewing Panels (history, reports, overviews)
  • Loading/Viewing speed preferences (compressions rates etc) per user
  • menu functions/menu buttons

Advanced technologies

The SMooTH Viewer is built using the latest technologies to build a fast viewer. 
It is based on technologies like Java, HTML-5, Javascript etc. 
It adheres to all relevant standards like DICOM,HL7 and IHE XDS.

Zero footprint

The SMooTH Viewer runs "out of the box" from any web-client, on any platform (Windows, MacOS-X etc) supported by browsers like:
  • Internet Explorer
  • Google Chrome
  • FireFox
  • Opera
  • Safari
It does not require any software to be installed on the client and does not store any patient-data on the client.

Standard

The SMooTH Viewer has been built with all relevant standars in mind, especially those defined by IHE (Integrating the HealthCare Enterprise). J4Care participates in the annual IHE-Connectathon to validate the compliance. The SMooTH Viewer supports:
  • SWF
  • KIN
  • XDS-consumer
  • BPPC
  • ATNA
  • WADO
  • ...

Fast

The SMooTH ​Viewer is optimised for showing images and video over (Wide Area) networks. It uses an intelligent algorithm (similar to Google Earth) to send only the required information over the network, thereby reducing the amount of data sent, whilst still providing all the pixel-data that can be shown on the client.

Video can be streamed. Multi-frame ultrasound (for instance cardiac echo’s) can be shown at high speed at the client (up to 90 fps).
The solution is fully scalable and can be used from small clinics to national viewing solutions with thousands of concurrent users.
