ArchiveRevive™
Overview:
(For Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP and Vista)
DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine) has become the standard medical image format, used extensively by most medical software programs and PACS systems. Old scanners did not produce DICOM images, but instead used proprietary formats. If you need to work with these old images, you first need to convert the images to DICOM.
ArchiveRevive™ will recognize and convert a LOT of formats! Check the list at the end of this page to see if your scanner format is supported. (If not, let us know … we’ll see if we can add it to our list!)
Advantages of ArchiveRevive™
• We do not need access to the console, so it’s available for your use.
• We do not lose image quality. ArchiveRevive™ takes the digital image in the format native to the scanner and converts it directly to DICOM. There is NO image degradation. The converted image pixels are exactly the same as the original pixels.
• We do not lose the patient information. All the patient information that is present in the original image will be converted along with the image to create a complete DICOM file.
• We do not lose the pixel’s metrics. You can take measurements from our converted images. The scout and axial images will align to one another perfectly. You can even use the images to do 3D reconstructions.
• We create DICOM images in the same modality as the original image. With ArchiveRevive™, we preserve the scanner’s modality with all the information that was available in the original.
• We read and convert the old archives directly onto a PC, in one step, rather than viewing the images one by one.
Drag and Drop Windows
ArchiveRevive™ is so easy to use! Just open the program, drag the image over the ArchiveRevive window and drop it there. ArchiveRevive™ will automatically recognize the format and use the appropriate converter to create a new DICOM image. ArchiveRevive™ will then store the new image within the same directory.
You can also drop a whole directory on ArchiveRevive™ and it will convert all the images in that directory!
Batch Converter
You can also use ArchiveRevive™ in a batch file or within another application.
Using the appropriate command line arguments, ArchiveRevive™ does not even have to be seen. ArchiveRevive™ will instead convert the images in the background. You can easily integrate ArchiveRevive™ in a batch file to automate your conversion.
Flexibility
By editing either the “Conversion Rules” file or the ArchiveRevive™ DICOM tables directly, you can easily add or remove DICOM tags from the converted files. You can also define default or override values for any of the DICOM tags. This technique can be used, for example, to anonymize the converted images.
Who Benefits from ArchiveRevive™?
• Body Composition Researchers
• Biomechanists and Biomedical Engineers
• Radiologists and Technicians
• Doctors and Surgeons
ArchiveRevive™ also offers an optional image analysis tool. With it you can segment MR and CT slices easily.
ArchiveRevive™ is your link into the future from your old scanner to your PACS. ArchiveRevive™ will recognize almost all CT, MR, Nuclear and Ultrasound formats. ArchiveRevive™ converts old archive disks or tapes directly. Its conversion modules change the old proprietary format to DICOM
without having to resort to a “Secondary Capture” optical scanner. There is also
an option to hook up the scanner directly to the PACS.
