Abstract
Devices for presentation of digital radiographic images. One device includes a memory for storing at least one radiographic image and a computer connected to the memory. The computer includes a processor and a user interface module. The user interface module is configured to generate a graphical user interface and to cause the at least one radiographic image to be displayed on a display in a first mode and in a light box mode that simulates the appearance of a physical light box.
Claims19
A device for presentation of digital radiographic images, the device comprising:
- a memory configured to store at least one radiographic image;
- a processor connected to the memory;
- and
- a user interface module, the user interface module configured to generate a graphical user interface and to cause the at least one-radiographic image to be displayed on a display in a first mode and in a light box mode that simulates the appearance of a physical light box, wherein the graphical user interface includes, in the light box mode, a bright region at least partially surrounding the at least one radiographic image and wherein the graphical user includes, in the first mode, a dark region at least partially surrounding the at least one radiographic image.
A device for presentation of digital radiographic images, the device comprising:
- a memory for storing radiographic image;
- and
- a computer connected to the memory, the computer including a processor and a user interface module, the user interface module configured to generate a graphical user interface and to display the radiographic image in the graphic user interface in a first mode and to display the radiographic image in the graphical user interface in a light box mode that includes simulated backlighting of the radiographic image, wherein the computer is configured to change from the first mode to the light box mode in response to at least one of the group consisting of a user input and the output of an ambient light sensor crossing a darkness threshold;
- and
- a display connected to the computer and configured to display the graphical user interface.
A method of displaying radiographic images, the method comprising:
- storing radiographic image in a memory;
- connecting a computer to the memory, the computer including a processor and a user interface module;
- connecting a display to the computer;
- generating a graphical user interface using the user interface module and displaying the graphical user interface on the display;
- displaying the radiographic image in the graphic user interface in a first mode;
- and
- displaying the radiographic image in the graphical user interface in a light box mode that includes simulated backlighting of the at least one radiographic image.
