Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / January 2005Asking about Medical Application
Peace be with u all, I'm making a dental clinic system which require using somekind of digital camera named "IntraOral camera" and a machine named RVJ it makes an X-Ray image for teeth. My problem is that I don't know how should my program support such kind of devices?I don't know from whee to start searching. I need my program to support these devices independent of the manufacture. I don't know that protocols of interfacing. How to capture the images from it?? I searched for an activex componenet or any piece of code to deal with it but no result. Could anyone help me to find this even if it's not free'but surely not so expensive'? I don't know if it's the same as any digital camera or have it's specific driver? Thanks in advance. Yours, Tamir Darweesh. Are you trying to write a software program to capture photographic, intra-oral, and radiographic images?  Signature~+--~+--~+--~+--~+-- Stephen Mancuso, D.D.S.

My spies are everywhere :D ;) SignatureJohn Chewter http://www.keyneimage.co.uk > as mr. John Chewter said I'm from Egypt. but how did u know? could u guide John I meant could u guide me,John Well, Most of the Intraoral software out there is old and uses the Microsoft Video For Windows (VFW) API - which is now obsolete. The new stuff uses the DirectShow API and / or the Windows Media Video API WMV. I use both of these. You can download the software developer kits from Microsoft - for free. X-Ray sensors are harder. Most phosphor plate scanners are straight forward TWAIN devices. The tablet sensors are (mostly) read directly using a proprietary DL although some are TWAIN and some are written to the Microsoft WDM driver model.. The vendors claim that they write these this is usually and usually a bit of research on the sensor chip manufacturer's site will reveal skeleton source code. How many software authors are as helpful as me? Telling their competition how to make their application? :) Let me know when you finished it all ? SignatureJohn Chewter http://www.keyneimage.co.uk >I meant could u guide me,John Thanks alot for ur help, u r right they are really so few :) but thanks to Allah they still exist :) So what I got is that by using "DirectShow API and / or the Windows Media Video API WMV" I can capture images from intraoral cameras independent of the manufacturer, right? but why to use both of them? Aren't they offer the same function or what? About the X-Ray as I got that I should search the sensor website for source code? But this mean that I'll support finite number of manufacturer,right? Is it available for free or what? Ao sorry for disturbing u :) Tamir Darweesh. > So what I got is that by using "DirectShow API and / or the Windows > I can capture images from intraoral cameras > independent of the manufacturer, right? but why to use both of them? VFW is old standard DS is new standard. Most Itraoral Camers I find still use old one. > Aren't they offer the same function or what? Yes - pretty much > About the X-Ray as I got that I should search the sensor website for > source code? But this mean that I'll support finite number of > manufacturer,right?

Look on the sensor chip sites. Thomson, Siemens, Sony etc. You are starting on a 3 year (minimum) journey. Best of luck Hello, Thanks alot for ur valuable information, but why u think it'll take 3 years from me? I'm not going to develop the interface, I only wanted to know more about what I exactly needed to know which component to buy :) Till now I found 2 components I don't know which to choose could u help me in that and if u know anyother one reccommend it for me The first is "CapturePRO & TWAIN Pro" *CapturePRO performs image and video acquisition from video capture devices such as web cams and digital cameras. * Interfaces with any video capture device that supports USB, FireWire, WDM, or native DirectShow including legacy Video For Windows devices. * Capture and compress video with or without audio. * Output compressed or uncompressed formats including AVI, Windows Media Content, and others, depending on DirectShow filters the user has installed. * Includes the powerful TwainPRO component to interface with TWAIN devices."Couldn't this be used with the TWAIN sensors?" The second is "Video OCX" *The control is compatible with most Video-for-Windows (VFW) devices, such as USB cameras (webcams) and framegrabbers in conjunction with a CCD camera or camcorder. Thanks alot. Tamir Darweesh. Video.ocx is old technology SignatureJohn Chewter http://www.keyneimage.co.uk > Hello, > Thanks alot for ur valuable information, but why u think it'll take 3 [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > Thanks alot. > Tamir Darweesh.
