A Medical Imaging Control/Component by LEAD Technologies, Inc.

With the LEADTOOLS Medical Imaging toolkit, developers have access to features which have been chosen and optimized to meet the specific demands of the medical imaging market, such as full DICOM dataset support, support for 8-16 bit grayscale, and 12 and 16 bit image processing and display with window leveling and LUT processing. DICOM 3 (2003 file specification), the industry standard medical imaging format/protocol is fully and completely supported, allowing programmers access to medical images retrieved from digital imaging modalities such as CT and MR scanners.

LEAD's DICOM imaging support is the richest in the industry supporting 8,10, 12,16 and 24 bit images including JPEG (8, 10 , 12, 16-bit Lossless grayscale, 8, 12-bit lossy grayscale, 24-bit lossless and lossy color), Run Length, Uncompressed, Photometric Interpretation (Monochrome1, Monochrome2, Palletized, RGB, ARGB, CMYK, YBR Full 422, YBR Full), and single and multi-page images. LEAD’s Medical Imaging toolkit includes 8-16 bit grayscale display with window leveling. Window leveling is a linear conversion from stored pixel values to values to be displayed; LEADTOOLS can map the stored pixel values of interest using a user defined color map (using a LUT or Palette) or linear gray LUT.

Also, LEADTOOLS Medical Imaging includes all the features you need to build a full web-based DICOM-enabled viewing application.

LEADTOOLS' DICOM support is simply the best, here's why:

-Support for 8, 10, 12, 16 grayscale and 24 bit images including JPEG (8, 10, 12, 16-bit Lossless grayscale, 8, 12 bit lossy grayscale, 24-bit lossless and lossy color), JPEG2000 (including lossy and lossless 8-16 bit grayscale images and 24-bit color) Run Length, Uncompressed, Photometric Interpretation (Monochrome1, Monochrome2, Palletized, RGB, ARGB, CMYK, YBR Full 422, YBR Full, YBR_RCT, YBR_ICT), and single and multi-frame images.

-Complete support for the DICOM 3 (2003 file specification), including all standard IOD classes and modalities (CR, CT, MR, NM, US, RF, SC, VL, etc.) and VR's (value representations)

-Provides easy implementation and full support for DICOM Basic Directory. High-level COM objects to create DICOMDIR in few lines of code.

-Change one transfer syntax to another transfer syntax with one function call.

-Automatic recognition of DICOM files (Little-Endian/Big-Endian, Implicit/Explicit VR, etc.) High level and low level functions for easy navigation and manipulation (insert, delete, modify) of Data Sets

-Single or multi-frame images (compressed or uncompressed)

-Largest set of hardware manufacturers supported.

-Contains ready to use source code and executables.

-4 different Programming interfaces to DICOM - API, COM, VCL, C++ Class Library

-Supports all VR's (Value Representation) in DICOM 2003 standard including “Other Float String”.

-High-level and low-level functions for easy navigation and manipulation (insert, delete, modify) of data sets.

-LEADTOOLS automatically adds the Item Delimitation Item, and Sequence Delimitation Item to simplify Nesting of Data Sets (VR of “SQ”).

-Easy to manipulate ordinal positioning of Items (FFFE,E000).

-Simplified handling of repeating groups (multiple overlays and curve data)

-Supports Encapsulated or Native encoding of Pixel Data for Single or multi-frame compressed or uncompressed images.

-DICOM LUT/Overlay/Palette support. The high-level support for Modality LUT, VOI LUT, Palette Color Image in LEADTOOLS Medical Imaging means developers can implement DICOM Presentation state into an application with ease. LEADTOOLS can also apply the Modality LUT to the image data to further simplify image processing and statistical calculations.

-DICOM Annotation Object support. Store/retrieve DICOM annotations from a dataset and convert them to LEAD Annotation objects and vice versa. Annotations can also be converted to regions of interest for additional statistical calculations and for storing to DICOM Presentation State.

Licensing

Deployment requires runtime license. Marked toolkits require runtime licensing based on the deployment of the application you develop. Several purchase options are available. For more information, please contact oemsales@leadtools.com or call a LEAD sales
