GAMMAPC is a medical image display and processing program
for MSDOS or Windows PCs within a local area network.
GAMMAVIEW is a viewing program for
nuclear medicine and radiology images under Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP.
With this program many image files can be viewed simultaneously.
The image file selection is done by the use of a study browser.
If a NFS client program is installed on the PC, a direct connection
to a Picker Odyssey system is supported.
Both programs are freeware for research and teaching (not for
clinical use).
TomoMagine
is a nuclear medicine DICOM viewer for clinical use, which was
developed as a commercial product with the same tools and is available
from a German company (BS
Industrieelektronik, Lübbecke). For more information,
see our wepage:
http://tomomagine.de
GammaView supports the import of MR/CT DICOM files for display
of single images, cine display of image series and saving images
as BMP files. GAMMAPC and GAMMAVIEW support also the INTERFILE
standard, a file standard, which is accepted as exchange format
by almost all nuclear medicine camera manufacturers.
GAMMAPC can be used for display and quantitative analysis of nuclear
medicine Images. The program allows ROI analysis on all types
of Images (except whole body). The ROIs can be stored on disk,
the results of ROI analysis can be exported to database or statistical
programs.
Displayed or processed Images can be stored in the PCX format,
which can be imported by all text processing or graphics programs
running under DOS or MS-Windows.
In the last version, the Interfile, Gamma-11 and Picker PRISM
formats are completely supported, the Siemens Microdelta, ICON,
CT and MR formats are supported partly.

First installation
GAMMAPC:
Decompress the file gammapc.zip and store the decompressed files
on a 1.2 or 1.4 MByte diskette.
With this diskette in drive A type:
A: install
Known problems (Windows):
Gammapc uses an EMS memory management; in some
cases EMS must be activated with the file manager: right-click
the *.exe file, properties/ memory, set EMS to "auto"
(see below); then create shortcut to the *.exe
file.
In most cases, as graphics mode the standard VGA (640x480/ 16
colors) can be used only.
GAMMAVIEW:
Start the program Gview162.exe and follow the instructions for
installation.
If you have a license key, insert institution name and code number
exactly as given into the license
information form, otherwise click on the cancel button. In this
case, the program runs in demomode
User manual
The file gammapc.doc (ASCII-file) contains the user manual;
a PDF-Version can be downloaded here: GAMMAPC.pdf
Detailed descriptions of the functions are found also in the help
files (GAMMAPC2.HLP and ROI2.HLP)
All functions of GAMMAVIEW are described in the Windows helpfile
GAMMAV.HLP.
Update and license procedure
GAMMAPC:
Decompress the file updtxxx.zip
Copy all files to the GAMMAPC directory and run the program GAMSETUP.EXE.
GAMMAVIEW:
Decompress the file Gammav200upd.zip
Copy all files into the GAMMAVIEW program directory.
A license file for Gammaview and Gammapc can be generated by running
the program "license.exe" in the program
directory of Gammaview. The file "gamsetup.dat"
can be copied into the Gammapc-directory (usually c:\Gammapc)
and activates the license for Gammapc.
