BIOCAP software is proposed as a valid instrument in medical field for acquisition and recording of bioimage and video sequences. It find a natural application in endoscopy where you need to record a complete exam with bioimage scanning but it can be used also to record x-ray images or ultrasonic image. Its also possible manage a complete patients archives ,to verify a diagnosis previously saved or add a new. This program has been developed for use in human field or veterinary application.

VIDEO AND BIOIMAGES CAPTURE

The capture/video section constitutes the primary part of software. It is approached this section through the indicated button. WARNING !: Before passing to video capture section you need to connect the video capture card, if its an external type and the video source (es. video camera, video recorder, etc).
