X-ray Spine Analysis Platform

X-ray Spine Analysis Platform — Centralized Imaging
Challenge

The client needed an X-ray image analysis application for spinal and posture assessment that could be centrally controlled instead of being distributed as unmanaged desktop software. They lacked visibility into distributors and end customers, had no subscription or payment controls, and faced piracy and revenue leakage. They also wanted remote access to reports and more patient-friendly outputs without changing existing imaging workflows.

Solution

We built a Windows desktop application connected to a central server for licensing, subscriptions, and data control. Clinics install the WinForms-based client to load and analyze X-rays, while all customer, distributor, and subscription information is managed centrally. Users can register, select subscription plans, pay online, and access reports through a secure web viewer.

Key Features
  • Spinal curve analysis: Cervical, Thoracic, Lumbar.
  • X-ray, posture, and ROM analysis with DICOM/JPG/PNG support.
  • Automated PDF report generation with patient-facing layouts.
  • Web viewer for remote report access and online payment/subscription management.
  • Distributor and subscriber tracking with basic reporting.
Spine Analysis
Tech Stack
  • Application: ASP.NET, C#, WinForms
  • Database: SQL Server 2012
  • Imaging: DICOM Viewer support
  • Payments: Authorize.Net gateway
Implementation

We implemented a desktop–server architecture where the local app handles imaging and measurements, and the server manages authentication, licensing, and subscriptions. Clinics log in against the central server, which validates active plans and entitlements. The reporting module generates PDFs stored centrally and exposed through the web viewer for remote access.

Results & Impact
  • Controlled distribution: Central licensing reduced unauthorized installations and improved visibility of active clinics.
  • Recurring revenue: Subscription plans and online payments enabled a move away from one-time licenses.
  • Operational efficiency: Automated PDF reports and unified workflows reduced manual effort at clinics.
  • Better patient experience: Clear, shareable reports and remote access improved communication with patients.
