A medical image review station has several functions with visual feedback which are controlled by a controller. These functions include detail/real-time mode; density, contrast and edge enhancement image appearance characteristics; zoom; cine loop; single frame jog; skip forward/back; displayed frame speed and direction; still print; cancel; directory.

Controller for medical image review station

A transportable medical image storage medium includes a recordable optical compact disk. The compact disk has a first storage area which records a plurality of substantially losslessly compressed digital medical images and a second storage area which records a plurality of lossy compressed digital medical images corresponding to said losslessly compressed medical images. Where a case study or set of medical images is of such a length that more than one CD is required to record all of the losslessly compressed digital medical images, each CD records the entire set of lossy compressed digital medical images.

Immunoassay unit for analysis of biological liquid

There are described assay devices having a control surface on which controls are deposited to produce a representational symbol that preferably indicates a satisfactory test procedure, or a failure in the test procedure. In one aspect of the invention, the symbol comprises exclusively the positive control areas and the negative control area, so that the negative control area will convert the 'satisfactory' symbolism into 'unsatisfactory' symbolism. In another aspect, the symbols that are formed are 'OK' and 'OK', respectively.

Test device with novel control symbolism

A buffered composition includes whole chlamydial or gonococcal organisms or an antigen thereof, and a nonionic fluorinated surfactant in an amount of at least about 0.05 weigh percent. This composition is useful in a positive control test used in diagnostic assays for chlamydial or gonococcal organisms. It is particularly useful when coated in an article used in such assays, such as disposable test devices having nonionic polyamide filtration membranes in the bottom of test wells.
