This software package is a viewer application specifically for the Canon Non-Mydriatic Retinal Camera CR-DGi (called “CR-DGi” below). Retinal images captured from the EOS digital camera installed on the CR-DGi are automatically loaded, and special CR-DGi image processing is performed to display the images. If necessary, the study information is recorded together with the image and saved to a folder created for each capture date.
1.3 Image Management of the CR-DGi Image Viewer Images recorded by the CR-DGi Image Viewer are rotated 180 degrees, combined with an aperture mask, and then displayed on the monitor. When an image is saved, image information and study information are added to the appended information of the JPEG image, and the image is saved to a folder with the capture date.
This process also installs the drivers for the digital camera. Install the CR-DGi Image Viewer. Perform installation by following the instructions on the screen. 1.5 Uninstalling Log on to Windows as the Administrator or as a user who is a member of the Administrators group.
