In this article, we will explore how to add medical images to a HoloLens app, step-by-step.
We will also discuss how to interact with the medical images to enhance the user experience.
If you are new to HoloLens development, I recommend familiarizing yourself with the basics before proceeding.
TheDICOM formatis the most widely used format for storing medical images.
DICOM files can be easily read and manipulated using DICOM libraries or plugins.
TheJPG formatis a commonly used image format that provides a good balance between image quality and file size.
It is a lossy compression format, which means that some information is lost during compression.
JPG images are widely supported and can be easily displayed in HoloLens apps.
ThePNG formatis a lossless compression format that preserves the image quality without sacrificing file size.
It supports transparency, making it suitable for medical images with annotations or overlays.
However, PNG images tend to have larger file sizes compared to JPG.
TheBMP formatis an uncompressed image format that stores raw image data.
BMP images offer high-quality rendering but have larger file sizes.
They are less commonly used for medical images due to their larger file sizes and lack of compression.
These images can now be accessed and utilized within your HoloLens app.
In the next step, we will explore how to display the medical images in the HoloLens app.
In the next step, we will explore how to interact with the medical images within the HoloLens app.
With these steps completed, you have successfully added medical images to your HoloLens app and implemented interaction functionalities.
Next, we explored different medical image formats and understood how to choose the appropriate format for our app.
Then, we went on to display the medical images within the HoloLens app.
Congratulations on adding medical images to your HoloLens app.
Now, go forth and make a positive impact in the healthcare industry through the power of augmented reality!
