June 2006 Visual C#.NET 1.1, XML, Visual SourceSafe, and Rational Rose XDE on Windows XP platform

Using Rational Rose XDE and Microsoft Word, produced high-level and low-level (200 pages) design documents for the IO Subsystem of the Kodak Medical Image Central Software product. Documents included class diagrams for over 30 classes, sequence diagrams, module dependency diagrams, and thorough explanation of the IO Subsystem operation. The subsystem provides multi-threaded fetch, read, and write access to a range (DICOM, BMP, JPEG, TIFF, etc) of image files accessed by the Kodak Medical Image Central Software product. IO Source and IO Sink Adapter classes were designed and implemented in a four-tier hierarchy.

Using Visual C#.NET 1.1 and XML, implemented and tested the IO Subsystem, and integrated it into the Kodak Medical Image Central Software product. Integrated numerous additions and alterations to the subsystem, requested as other subsystems of the Kodak Medical Image Central Software product were implemented.

Using Visual C#.NET 1.1 and XML, designed and implemented IHE IO Adapters for disk writing. The adapters opened and read DICOM files, then saved the files and wrote relevant information into XML files (also to be written) to a master IHE directory (which consists of one or more subdirectories, depending on the number of files to be written).
