The LEADTOOLS PACS Workstation Framework is a set of .NET PACS components that can be used to build a full featured PACS Workstation application. To speed development and leverage LEAD's experience of working with thousands of developers, a medical workstation viewer application with source code is included.

LEADTOOLS Medical Workstation Viewer
The LEADTOOLS Medical Workstation Viewer is an end-user application with functionality comparable to high-end DICOM viewers used today in the health care industry. The application provides the functionality and features to be used by medical professionals, device manufacturers as a Modality Workstation viewer, research facilities, or anyone that has a need to view DICOM images with very little modification.
The LEADTOOLS Medical Workstation Viewer uses the LEADTOOLS high-level medical image viewer control to provide unconstrained display layouts, stacking, cine, synchronized scrolling, reference lines and interactive mouse tools such as window level, zoom, pan, annotation, measurement and region of interest.
The LEADTOOLS 3D engine is incorporated into the application to allow 3D volume generation from 2D CT, MRI and PET stacks and MIP, MinMIP, VRT and SSD rendering. The application can generate orthogonal MPR planes or any arbitrary single or double cut planes and MIP slab from 2D slices.
The source code is provided for easy customization and branding. The LEADTOOLS Medical Workstation Viewer is built upon the LEADTOOLS PACS Framework and features:
- DICOM SCU Query/Retrieve and Store
- DICOM SCP service to provide Query/Retrieve, Store and Storage Commit
- DICOM Media import
- Medical Image Viewing (display layouts, annotations, Zoom, Pan, Window-Level tools, etc)
- User Access Control
- Advanced 3D visualization with LEADTOOLS Medical 3D SDK Technology
- DICOM Transaction Logging
LEADTOOLS PACS Workstation Framework Components
The LEADTOOLS PACS Workstation Framework is divided into several components with default implementations that can be replaced or customized to meet the specific needs of your organization. The object oriented and componentized design allows existing PACS Workstation systems to be replaced wholly or piecemeal.
DICOM Client
Any LEADTOOLS or third party DICOM client can communicate with the LEADTOOLS PACS Workstation Framework using Study Root Query and Retrieve, Storage and Storage Commitment, and Find and Move Services.
DICOM PACS Server
With the LEADTOOLS High-Level DICOM PACS Server component, LEADTOOLS and third party DICOM clients can query and retrieve from, and store to a workstation database.
DICOM PACS Workstation Add-ins
Because every system and organization is different, it is impossible to create a product that meets every need out of the box. For this reason, the LEADTOOLS PACS Workstation Framework leverages add-ins that developers can quickly implement to perform various tasks. All DICOM requests are delegated to the add-ins to be processed. The LEADTOOLS PACS Workstation Framework includes several add-in implementations with source code including:
- Study Root Find SCP Service
- Study Root Move SCP Service
- Storage Service
- Storage Commit Service
- DICOM Transaction Log to Database
DICOM PACS Workstation Data Access Layer
The LEADTOOLS PACS Workstation Data Access Layer (DAL) ensures maximum flexibility for data storage. Developers may inherit from a LEADTOOLS PACS Workstation DAL implementation for virtually any database system including SQL server, Oracle and MySQL by creating a class that implements the LEADTOOLS PACS Workstation DAL interfaces. The inheritable default DAL implementation works with SQL server and SQL CE. Sample implementations with source code include an Access database implementation.
Database
By implementing the respective data access layer, virtually any database system may be used with the LEADTOOLS PACS Workstation Framework. The default DAL included with the LEADTOOLS PACS Workstation Framework supports SQL Server and SQL CE.
DICOM PACS Workstation User Controls
The LEADTOOLS PACS Workstation includes all user interface controls needed to build a DICOM Workstation. Provided controls include an image viewer control, search control and configuration control. All of the controls may be easily customized to meet the specific needs of your users.
DICOM PACS Workstation Client
The LEADTOOLS PACS Workstation Framework uses DAL components to query and retrieve images from, and store images to the local database. The PACS Workstation Client also uses the LEADTOOLS PACS Framework to query, retrieve, and store images to remote DICOM PACS servers.
DICOM PACS Workstation Loader
The LEADTOOLS PACS Workstation Loader retrieves study, series, and image information in the background from the Workstation Client and loads that information into the LEADTOOLS Medical Viewer control.
DICOM PACS High-Level Client Framework
The LEADTOOLS DICOM PACS High-Level Client Framework leverages the LEADTOOLS PACS Framework to facilitate communication between PACS Workstation clients and LEADTOOLS or third party DICOM PACS servers.
Remote DICOM PACS Server
The LEADTOOLS PACS Workstation Framework can communicate with any LEADTOOLS or third party DICOM PACS server.
