Hands-free Control of Standard DICOM Imaging Software using
Leap Motion or Myo Controller. Peter Stoll & Jos Morey As Shown
at RSNA 2014
Slide 2
Current Problems Physicians often refer to patients medical
images before and during medical procedures. Viewing the images
requires manipulation scroll, zoom, window. Sterility must be
maintained during medical procedures. Long term use of traditional
mouse and keyboard leads to chronic pain in the neck, lower back
and wrist As Shown at RSNA 2014
Slide 3
Status Quo Keyboard and mouse manipulation of PACS during
procedures. Multiple Disadvantages: Requires breaking sterility
Time-consuming Risk of pathogen transmission Physician Frustration
As Shown at RSNA 2014
Slide 4
Status Quo Options before our solution PACSpoint: Ask an
assistant to manipulate PACS. Break sterility and manipulate PACS,
requiring re- scrub. Refer to images less often, or not at all bad
for patient care! As Shown at RSNA 2014
Slide 5
Our Solution Software application coupled with a commercially
available, inexpensive small device, enabling hands-free
manipulation of PACS. As Shown at RSNA 2014
Slide 6
Leap Motion Controller Device comprises three infrared LEDs and
two stereo cameras which track light outside the visible spectrum.
Cameras track position and motion. As Shown at RSNA 2014

Slide 8
Leap Motion Controller Raw data transferred to PC or Mac via
USB. Advanced proprietary algorithms reconstruct 3D information
from the raw data sent from the device. As Shown at RSNA 2014

Slide 10
Myo Controller Myo senses muscle movements in the arm to
recognize gestures such as making a fist or waving left/right Myo
also has sensors for velocity and orientation data Myo is wireless
and communicates with PC via Bluetooth As Shown at RSNA 2014
Slide 11
Our Software Our patented technology allows the manipulation of
medical images in a touch- less, intuitive manner that does not
require a break in physician sterility and helps prevent contact
infections. As Shown at RSNA 2014
Slide 12
Features Vendor neutral software for easy integration into
existing PACS stations. Access to all PACS tools with an expanded
gesture recognition system. Translates your natural hand motions
for image guidance. Fully customizable for all users As Shown at
RSNA 2014
Slide 13
Benefits Increases Scanner utilization due to faster procedure
time which leads to increased revenue Reduces potential risk of
patient infection More ergonomic that using a traditional mouse and
keyboard- reducing eye strain, back/shoulder pain and symptoms of
carpal tunnel ACO Q/I Applicable ABR PQI Project As Shown at RSNA

Slide 14
Software Implementation PACSpoint was written using the Python
programming language. Libraries used: Leap API returns data from
the device, such as finger position and motion. Myo API returns
data on muscle movements and device velocity & orientation
Keyboard and mouse manipulation package. Cross-platform GUI API. As
Shown at RSNA 2014
Slide 15
Fusion Prime The Fusion Prime version of PACS Point uses both
the Myo and Leap at the same time This allows users to have an even
greater array of customizable options and provides the best of both
the Myo and Leap Controller As Shown at RSNA 2014
