Once again, LEAD Technologies is proud to be a part of the 9th annual National Health IT Week (September 15 - 19, 2014). Last year, over 375 organizations participated and 2014 is projected to have over 400 partners. LEAD Technologies joins with the other hundreds of companies around the country to celebrate progress and add to the conversation of how Health Information Technology is growing and improving people's health.

At its core, healthcare is performed by the many great doctors, nurses, EMTs, radiologists, and more that are directly serving their patients. However, every great front-line worker has a great supporting cast, within which Health IT gets to play a major role. The successful application of medicine and care is greatly enhanced through Electronic Health Records (EHR), Picture Archival and Communication Systems (PACS), advanced imaging technologies, infrastructure and so on. These important pieces of the overall healthcare system provide improved patient safety, fewer medical errors, earlier detection, and stronger patient/provider relationships.

This month we're going back to the basics! Many of our white papers dive into very specific topics and use-cases. We've recently seen an uptick of interest in our core DICOM functionality and have therefore waded into that set of features in this white paper. Boiled down, DICOM is about loading, displaying, modifying and using medical images and its metadata.

Though this is about the "basics" of using DICOM in LEADTOOLS Medical Imaging SDKs, there's hardly anything basic about DICOM so it's all relative. The DICOM specifications are thousands of pages long and we have several experts in house that devote nearly all of their time towards implementing this ever changing imaging format and communications protocol. In typical LEADTOOLS fashion, our experts have exposed that functionality to you in an easy-to-use, yet lacking-nothing-in-features interface on multiple platforms.

If you've ever had an MRI, CT or large number of X-rays during a medical visit, chances are you hoped to get a copy of your images to show your family, friends or another doctor. Not too many years ago you might get lucky and take home a huge film sheet to hold up against a bright light. Thankfully, today's digital world has made it more practical by storing your study on a CD or DVD with an embedded viewing application. If this service is available, some hospitals may hand them out as common practice while others may only provide it upon request.

Unfortunately this capability is not as common as you would think. Unbeknownst to many in the medical imaging sector are the numerous benefits that go beyond the basic take-home copy for patients. Check out our latest white paper which helps explain what DICOM Media Creation Management is and does, and how LEADTOOLS can help you along the way.
