The case information and images are displayed in the Case Display JSP-driven webpage. When the case author selects to edit an image, the original or resized DICOM image in permanent file storage is opened in the Java-based Optimization Applet. After window and level adjustments are made, the user-defined optimum window and level settings are passed as parameters to the JSP-driven Optimization Servlet and stored in the MySQL relational database. The servlet passes the optimum window and level settings to the OFFIS DCMTK to generate new full-size and thumbnail JPEG images that are then displayed in the Case Display webpage.
