A Toolkit/Component Code Library by Accusoft Corp

ImageTransport MD provides comprehensive DICOM support for creating applications that interface with DICOM-compliant devices and storage systems for CT, MRI, nuclear medicine, X-ray, ultrasound, film scanners, etc.

It supports all of the services defined in the DICOM standard, including:

• Image transfer over networks
• Creation of DICOM-compliant file sets
• DICOM image printing
• Medical information management

With complete control of DICOM communications, application developers can now rapidly prototype and test solutions from Visual C++, Delphi, Visual Basic, etc. Images acquired through the API can be processed with ImageGear MD. ImageTransport MD takes care of the finer details of DICOM network implementation, such as:

Automatic association negotiation, data element ordering and response to C-ECHO requests

Easy debugging—function names with full-error/warning/info logging, no hex codes required

Fault-tolerant message state machine and full Part 8 compliance

Extensive data validation across DIMSE commands, data elements, and sequences

Instant detection of critical errors, regardless of the timeouts

Object-oriented C++ based core engine yields compact architecture and encapsulated polymorphic objects to help reduce coding errors

Powerful and robust, ImageTransport MD provides comprehensive support for DICOM 3.0 communications, including all Transfer Syntaxes, all standard DIMSE-C and DIMSE-N messages and the DICOMDIR.


For the development of Picture Archiving and Communications Systems (PACS), ImageTransport MD dramatically simplifies communications with DICOM Service Class Providers (SCPs). It supports all 32-bit Windows platforms and provides full functionality through both DLL and ActiveX interfaces.
