Portable Device-Based Medical Service System For DICOM To PNG Conversion

Obtaining medical images require high speed and mobility in receiving and analyzing patient medical information, a portable device is the solution. However, the medical image format that is commonly used is an image with the DICOM format that cannot be accessed directly by portable devices because of the limitations of portable devices to access DICOM images and the size of the DICOM image format which will eat up the memory of portable devices so a system is needed to help solve this issue. In this case study is a system capable of performing the conversion and an application that can access the results. This system works by processing medical data in the form of DICOM image files with the denoising method to reduce noise in medical images on a local computer so that the converted images have better quality, then convert the files into PNG file format. The result of those stage are PNG and CSV which will be uploaded into database and with PHP server side programming, then from the conversion image and patient data can be obtained and accessed through an application on a portable device.
