ScanMagic

by ScanEX

ScanMagic utilizes efficient innovative techniques of image processing. On-the-fly spooling allow to open images of up to 4 GB in size instantly and provides analyzing that large data volume in real-time viewing mode. On-the-fly processing (for example, image re-projection on–the-fly) allow to change data processing parameters repeatedly and visual estimating of the result in real-time.
