The primary goal of the client was to transfer DICOM images securely over the network and have features which would enable users to view and if need be manipulate medical DICOM images with features like window level, zoom while maintaining aspect ratio of images and contrast. The main complexity of developing this application was to ensure that in the event of certain functionalities being applied, the affected changes were made on a separate copy and not the original DICOM image. Also centralized control of all features on a selected patient’s DICOM image was required. The client was curious about the performance of GUI and the various features which were to be made available to be applied on the DICOM images.

The requirement form the client’s end to find an able outsourcing company, who would understand their previous code base, match their objectives and create something which would be in sync with their existing process.
