MedJava
~~~~~~~
Overview
--------
MedJava is a prototype of a large scale distributed medical imaging
system. It has been developed using Java, in particular, several
components of Java ACE.
Here are the key features of the MedJava toolkit:
* Images can be both downloaded and uploaded across the network.
* Images can be uploaded to Web servers that support HTTP PUT
functionality (for example, JAWS).
* The tool contains more than a dozen image filters to do image
processing.
* The image filters can be configured into the system dynamically
using the Service Configurator pattern.
Please send comments/suggestions to Prashant Jain (pjain@cs.wustl.edu).
======================================================================
Getting Started
---------------
MedJava applet can be configured with several (optional) parameters
via the HTML file from which the applet is invoked. Here is a list of
the parameters:
Note:
1) * indicates test-mode parameters

Menu
----
o Open URL
Allows user to specify a URL. If the URL points to an image that is
readable, then the image is downloaded and displayed in the view
panel.
If the URL points to a directory that is readable then a window
appears displaying a list of files in that directory. The user can
then click on an image file in this window to fetch an image.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If the URL points to a directory, the directory must
not contain an "index.html" file! If it does, the
query will fail and no list of files will appear.
o Save
Allows user to specify a URL to save the currently loaded image to.
All images are saved in GIF format. Note that saving/uploading a
file can take a while depending upon the size of the image. This is
because, the tool first generates the GIF format and then sends the
bytes across the network.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Web server must support image uploading, that is
HTTP PUT functionality. Also, due to applet
restrictions, the server MUST be running on the same
host from which the applet was downloaded from.
o Reset
Resets the image to the original. Note that the effects of any
filters that were applied to the image will be lost.
o Reload Filters
Reads the filter configuration file again and reloads all the image
filters. Note that this serves as the trigger of the Service
Configurator pattern allowing the tool to reconfigure based on new
configuration information.
The filters are specified in filter.conf. To add/remove filters,
change this file and then select "Reload Filters".
To specify a different configuration file, please see "Getting Started".
o Zoom In
Zooms in to the currently displayed image. Note that the applet only
allows to zoom in 4 x times.
o Zoom Out
Zooms out of the currently displayed image. Note that the applet
only allows to zoom out 1/4 x times.
o Apply
Apply the currently selected filter. By default no filter is
selected. Note that applying a filter to an image can taken
anywhere between a few seconds to a few minutes depending upon the
image size, the filter type, and the speed of the machine on which
the applet is running.
o Filters:
Allows the user to select a filter from the ones that have been
configured into the applet. Note that this is a choice menu and its
entries depend upon the filters that were specified in the filter
configuration file.
For more information, on how to specify the filters, please see
"Getting Started".
o About
Displays the "About" dialog containing the version of the MedJava
applet.
o Help
Displays this window
======================================================================
Limitations
-----------
In several browsers, for images larger than 100 KB, the Java virtual
machine may run out of memory while doing image processing.
