Which ShowCase Product Do I Need?

Trillium provides two levels of ShowCase viewers to help customers with limited budgets find an image viewer that meets their needs at the lowest possible price. Both viewers can be purchased with or without the "Connect" option that supports transferring studies from imaging equipment or PACS servers to your PC.

1-- I just want a good basic viewer for looking at my DICOM images stored on CDs, DVDs or MODs or exported from a PACS.

ShowCase Basic should meet your needs and is the lowest priced viewer. It has all viewing capabilities and can de-identify and save studies, print to desktop printers, export in AVI, BMP, TIFF and JPG formats.

 

2-- I want to push studies from my ultrasound machine to a disk on a lab computer to avoid sneaker-netting with CDs and MODs.

The Connect option added to either ShowCase viewer includes a DICOM SCP that accepts images from a DICOM device and stores them to the disk on a PC.

 

3-- I need to export studies to CDs and include a viewer on the CD so that the referring physicians don't need special software to see the studies.

ShowCase Premier includes integrated CD burning and allows you to include a viewer on the CD or DVD by just checking a box.

4-- I need an electronic clinical report solution.

ShowCase now integrates with the EncaptureMD web based reporting system by Flexible Informatics, LLC.  To learn more about how the ShowCase / EncaptureMD solution might fit your needs, follow this link to learn more about EncaptureMD integration or follow this link for other reporting solutions...

5-- I need imaging tools that can help me with case presentations and teaching.

ShowCase Basic includes features such as annotation and image de-identification / paint outs, and also includes PowerPoint integration features. A single button click puts your images onto Powerpoint slides, either in standard export formats or in native DICOM. A ShowCase ActiveX control can play DICOM clips directly on Powerpoint slides. You have all of the ShowCase image editing tools right in your presentation.

6-- I want to de-identify images for a research study.

ShowCase Basic meets your needs. It can erase image areas and also save images with all identifying information removed from the image header in the file.

If you want the convenience of bringing studies to your desktop with query/retrieve, add the Connect option to save you time in transferring studies.

Need to send the studies on a CD to a research center? Move up to ShowCase Premier to write CDs and include an onboard viewer on the CD.

7-- I want to pull studies from my PACS server to my home or office computer or a laptop when I travel.

The Connect option on either viewer supports DICOM Query/Retrieve messaging that transfers images from a DICOM server to your PC. (To transfer images to your home or traveling laptop, you will also want to set up a VPN.)

8-- Why would I want a "portable" flash drive license?

The portable flash license is the right choice for physicians who read studies in multiple locations or IT support people who frequently swap machines in and out. You can install ShowCase in several offices and carry the license along with you to activate the software when you need it. (The software will not run when the flash license is not present) Portable flash licenses are NOT good for people who lose things easily-- they are expensive to replace! If you never know where your car keys are... this is not the right choice for you.
