ORTHOPEDICS
DICOM VIEWER
DICOM Viewer for Orthopedics ensures a way to search, view, analyze orthopedic digital images, and make a diagnosis. Vendor-neutral DICOM Viewer proposes the possibility to view images, signals or videos for orthopedy diagnostics. DICOM Viewer includes a wide range of features and measurements including specific tools for orthopedic images.










MedDream DICOM Viewer ensures a way for orthopedic specialists to search, view, analyze digital orthopedic images and make diagnosis from anywhere and on any device. DICOM Viewer for Orthopedics proposes the possibility to view orthopedic images from diagnostic devices allowing the use of PACS server as a orthopedic imaging archive. DICOM Viewer supports the most common modalities for orthopedy: CT, CR, DX, MR, US, and other modalities and formats. The DICOM Viewer includes a wide range of features, standard tools and measurements and also measurements specifically important for orthopedy: measuring the distance, angle, Cobb angle, Height Difference, Flatfoot, Goniometry, TT-TG Distance, Vertebra Angle, Spine labelling, and more.
The MedDream DICOM Viewer measurements specifically important for Orthopedics are:
Line. Draw and measure the length of a line;
Angle. Draw and measure an angle;
Cobb angle. Draw and measure a Cobb angle;

Height Difference. Measure the vertical distance and angle between the horizontal line and the line connecting the points;

Flatfoot. Foot longitudinal arch measurement to detect longitudinal flatfoot;
Goniometry. Measure the lengths of the femur, tibia, and femoral-tibial angular deformities;
TT-TG distance. Measure the tibial tuberosity to trochlear groove distance for quantifying the knee patellar instability;

Spine labeling. Measurement to mark the vertebrae of the spine;
Vertebra Angle. Measure an angle between the user-drawn vertebra axis and the horizontal axis of the image.
Supported modalities most common in orthopedics:

What is the MedDream DICOM Viewer for Orthopedics?
+MedDream is an HTML5 web-based DICOM Viewer featuring specialized tools designed specifically for orthopedic specialists to analyze digital musculoskeletal images, perform preoperative planning, and make diagnoses. MedDream includes a dedicated orthopedic measurement module with tools for diagnosis and surgical planning:
What specialized orthopedic measurements does MedDream offer?
+MedDream includes dedicated orthopedic tools such as Cobb Angle, Height Difference, Flatfoot longitudinal arch measurement, Goniometry (femur, tibia, angular deformities), TT-TG distance (knee patellar instability), High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) angles, and Vertebra Angle measurements.
Does it include tools for spine imaging?
+Yes, the viewer includes specific features for spine analysis, including a Vertebra Angle tool (measuring the angle between the vertebra axis and horizontal axis) and a Spine Labeling tool to accurately mark and identify individual vertebrae.
What modalities are supported for orthopedics?
+MedDream supports the most common musculoskeletal modalities including Computed Tomography (CT), Computed Radiography (CR), Digital Radiography (DX), Magnetic Resonance (MR), and Ultrasound (US).
How does the Cobb Angle measurement work?
+The Cobb Angle tool allows orthopedic surgeons to draw intersecting lines along the endplates of vertebrae to accurately measure and quantify the degree of spinal deformities such as scoliosis directly within the web viewer.
Are advanced 3D and MPR features available for joint imaging?
+Yes, MedDream provides robust Multi-Planar Reconstruction (MPR) and 3D rendering capabilities, essential for visualizing complex joint structures, fractures, and orthopedic hardware placement in three dimensions.
Can MedDream be used for preoperative planning?
+With its comprehensive suite of specialized measurements, calibration tools, and reference lines, MedDream is heavily utilized by orthopedic specialists for detailed anatomical assessment and preoperative surgical planning.
How does the viewer handle image calibration?
+The viewer includes a ‘Calibration line’ tool, allowing surgeons to manually change the scale of measurement to ensure accurate real-world sizing, crucial for orthopedic templating and hardware selection.
Is the Orthopedics viewer mobile-friendly?
+Yes, the HTML5 zero-footprint architecture features a responsive design. Orthopedic surgeons can securely review imaging and perform measurements on desktop monitors, tablets, and mobile devices from anywhere.
Can MedDream integrate with Orthopedic PACS or EMRs?
+Yes, utilizing URL calls and standard Integration APIs, MedDream seamlessly integrates into Orthopedic Practice Management Systems, EMRs, and acts as the universal front-end viewer for any Orthopedic PACS archive.
