Titan | Image Optimization of Medical Scan Software

Introduction

Titan is a BioTech / MedTech software dedicated to surgeons and specialists performing fluorography and working daily with X-Ray images. It was one of the earliest projects we’ve developed for western clients. The project aimed to revolutionize the way X-ray images are processed with a strong focus on patient data protection (HIPAA compliance). We’ve built Titan on Qt and C++ technologies supported by Django and Vue.js.

Here's an in-depth look at the development and features of the Titan project.

Titan | Introduction & Client's Background

Titan was all about process optimization to become a vital and revolutionary tool for medical professionals.

At the beginning of that project, we were asked to make the manipulation of patient data and real-time video feeds from fluoroscopic sessions as seamless as possible.

The idea behind it was quite simple. Our desktop application had to:

  • Process complex and large X-ray files,
  • Optimize file size,
  • Decrease memory usage,
  • Limit the CPU workload.

That is why we wanted to ensure high performance on both desktop and embedded devices, facilitating accurate diagnostics and enhancing the overall workflow in medical imaging.

A much larger issue was Titan’s compliance with the HIPAA standards (GDPR in Europe). These laws were established to protect patients’ Personal Health Information (PHI) and digital privacy in general.

Research & Collaboration | Titan

The primary challenge we faced during Titan creation was to properly and efficiently handle extremely large and complex X-ray files.

Such files require substantial optimization to reduce memory load and computational power, typically used by GPUs, while also balancing the CPU load. Additionally, the Titan application needed to be compatible with both desktop and embedded systems, ensuring versatile use across different platforms.

To understand the unique needs of medical professionals, we conducted extensive research and surveys with surgeons and radiologists.

This helped us identify the key functionalities required for the application, including:

  1. Real-time manipulation of patient data
  2. Live video feeds from fluoroscopic sessions.

Focusing on user experience and interface design, we also created a very light, intuitive, and user-friendly interface that quickly got accepted by the client.

Titan | Design & Development

Using [PH1] Qt for development, we ensured cross-platform compatibility for both desktop and embedded systems.

The backend was developed using Python/Django, while front-end modules were built with Vue.js. A unified API was integrated for both mobile and web applications, streamlining the development process.

The system architecture was designed to allow easy future expansion of functionalities, ensuring that the application could evolve with the needs of the medical community.

Upon successful deployment, the application underwent extensive manual and automated tests to confirm its error-free performance. To ensure high code coverage and functionality of the app, our pre-deployment process included:

  • Manual tests,
  • Automated tests,
  • Integration tests,
  • System tests.

Such an approach ensures high code coverage and validates the functionality of the app. Feedback from the QA team was also regularly reviewed and addressed, refining the application to meet the highest standards.
