OSIRIS software for Cardiac CD standard OSIRIS: A multiplatform software for display and analysis of images from the cardiac DICOM CD standard O. Welz University Hospital of Geneva Switzerland Table of Content (Click on one of the following items to jump to the corresponding chapter) The OSIRIS software has been designed as a general medical image manipulation and analysis software. The design is mainly based on the following criteria: portability, extendibility and suitability for any imaging modality. OSIRIS is designed to deal with images provided by any type of digital imaging modality to allow physicians to easily display and manipulate images from different imaging sources using a single generic software program. Portability ensures the software implementation on different types of computers and workstations. Thus, the user can work in the same way, with exactly the same graphical user interface, on different stations.
Also by supporting standard file formats, the OSIRIS software provides access to images from any imaging modality. The OSIRIS program was developed as part of a hospital wide project at the University Hospital of Geneva and is intended for physicians and non computer-oriented users allowing them to display and manipulate medical images. In addition to being used at the University Hospital of Geneva, it was widely distributed around the world and was adjusted according to user's comments and suggestions. This program was also designed to serve as a development of more advanced image processing and analysis tools. Through almost three years of clinical use in Geneva as well as other institutions where the program was tested, a large number of suggestions and wishes from the users were collected and used to significantly improve the basic features of the program. Display of image sets: in the original design we allowed sets of images to be displayed in a single window according to three modes: the stack mode, the tile mode and the movie mode. In the tile mode images were laid out on a grid where the number of rows and columns were determined by the program.
Several users requested the possibility to modify the predetermined layout by selecting the number of rows or columns. This allows sets of images to be displayed on a single row on a continuous strip allowing multiple sequences to be displayed side by side on the screen.
In the stack mode, images are displayed one at a time and the user can switch to the next or to the previous one. The movie mode allows to automatically display all images one after the other. The speed of the movie is also adjustable. Regions Of Interest: the notion of ROI (Region Of Interest) is the basis for most processing and analysis tools provided by OSIRIS. An extension of this notion has been added, the notion of 'volume' ROI. A volume can be described by a set of ROI's assigned on several images in a contiguous set of slices.
ROI's are identified by their type and their name. A specific data window displays the results and a 3D representation of the volume outlined. Finally for automatic outline of regions of interest, new tools are provided for automatic segmentation and contour extraction. Image display facilities: the zoom coefficient, located at the left bottom of the main window, is now a popup menu which allows to directly select the desired zoom factor. A more direct way of adjusting contrast and intensity window has been provided. A new button was added to the left panel of the main window allowing to directly adjust the windowing with the mouse.
Horizontal displacements modify the window width while vertical displacements modify the window level. Undoing some basic operations: some tools, such as filters, may require several trials to explore different results in order to select the desired one. For this purpose the Undo function was implemented for several tools such as filters or ROI modifications. Dynamic links to other programs: in order to facilitate the access to text documents such as interpretation reports related to a set of images, a special function was added to display documents associated with a PAPYRUS file. When this feature is activated, OSIRIS looks for a text editor or word processing application available and tries to open the document with the same name as the PAPYRUS file with the extension '.doc'.
Extended processing and analysis tools OSIRIS has been designed as an extensible platform. It means that new tools can be easily developed and integrated into the software. As these tools must be portable on the different workstations supported by OSIRIS, it was important to provide the potential developer with a library independent from the underlying system and more specially the windowing system. Indeed, the most system dependent part of a tool is certainly the user interface. Two basic components allow to create system independent tools: the dialog manager and the data window manager.

The dialog manager allows to create dialog windows containing different types of elements to which call back operations can be attributed. The data window manager allows to display results in separate windows in which mouse interaction is possible.
New processing tools: Convolution filters have been redesigned, they can be customised by the user. A preference file contains the description of the different convolution filters. A new type of filtering is now possible: the Z or interslice filter which simultaneously takes into account pixels from different contiguous slices. Or from a temporal sequence of images. Quantitative analysis tools: ROI's can be used to develop analysis tools.
As an example of such specific tools, the ejection fraction calculation of the left ventricle from any sequence of cardiac images was added to the program. The initial development of OSIRIS program was undertaken simultaneously on UNIX based X/window graphic environment as well as Apple Macintosh native platform.
The UNIX version was further tested on a variety of workstations namely SUN Sparc series, DEC alpha series, HP 7000 series, and IBM Risc-6000 series. Recent evolution in the desktop computing environment lead us to develop a new kernel of the OSIRIS software to be compatible with Microsoft Windows 3.1 as well as Windows 95 on PC based platforms. Finally the software was also updated to run native on the PowerPC RISC computers to fully benefit from the enhanced performance of this new generation of Power Macintosh machines.
Macintosh version: OSIRIS will run on any Macintosh family computer equipped with a color monitor supporting 256 color levels. If your computer supports 24 bit colors (millon colors) make sure to switch your display to 256 colors or black and hite levels (use the 'monitor' control panel to change the display setting). OSIRIS requires Sytem 7.0 or later to run. We however recommend that your Macintosh has at least 8Mb of RAM. Larger memory size will allow you to display more images simultaneously on the screen.
PC (Windows) version: OSIRIS will run on any PC compatible equipped with MS Windows 3.1 or Windows 95 operating system. The software requires a hardware that supports 256 colors or grayscale. We however recommend that your system to be equipped with at least 8Mb of RAM. Larger memory size will allow you to display more images simultaneously on the screen. Macintosh version: To install the Macintosh version of OSIRIS on your computer just download the OSIRIS program and the OsirisPrefs folder to the same folder on your hard disk. Two versions of the OSIRIS program are provided: on for 68k based Macintosh computers and another version for Power PC based computers. PC (Windows) version: After downloading the software from the server to your hard disk (see below), just type 'setup' and a setup program will automatically install the software for you.
To download the OSIRIS software to your computer select one of the following versions: For other versions of the OSIRIS software as well as a full user manual please check the at the University Hospital of Geneva. A special license is also available for developpers willing to extend the software with their own processing and analysis tools. Images provided here for demonstration are in format. The PAPYRUS 3.0 file format is based on the international standard which addresses the open interchange of medical images in files or on removable storage media.
This specific implementation of the DICOM standard is intended as a generic solution for interchange of multi-modality medical images on removable media. It can also be used for convenient exchange of image data between different computer systems through industry standard file transfer mechanisms. Finally it can also be used for storage and archival of medical image data in a DICOM compatible format. A special upgrade of the software was recently developped to allow the OSIRIS program to directly read DICOM images from the standard cardiac CD (called DISC'95) and is now available for testing and evaluation.
