Hi Steve,

All the rendering is performed client side (windowing, reconstruction and so on...). But we are not supported decompression of any DICOM transfer syntaxes, we totally need the uncompressed data.

And it is actually a quite good question, because as you can see on the demo site, we need a few time to load all the images, that can become quite long in case of bad connection.

I am currently working on this optimisation phase, first by using a unique DICOM lossless compressed format (from our PACS solution) that I will manage client side, and then by managing any DICOM formats.

Thanks to this work, there will be less transfer between server and client to obtain the images.

Emilien,

We've done some investigation of the possibilities with Silverlight, and really didn't see any support for decompression, so I was curious as to how you were doing things.

Another final followup then, would be are you using the ClearCanvas libraries in any way for this project?

Steve

Well,

I just started the investigation to manage the decompression client side. If I found no way to do it properly in SL4, I will work on other solution to improve the data transfer.But note that in a first time, I will work on a unique compressed format, and it will very simplify my problem.

We used the CC libraries when this project started, to simplify our first implementation. But since we have developed our own C# DICOM manager.

This is why I still post on this forum to let you know how the project progress, without your great library, we were not able to have these results very quick. And also, even if I can not show the code, I hope to be able to help some people working on the same field.

Thus, thank you.

Emilien

Sorry just seen your post, reply done on your email adress!
