A Sneak Peek at What’s Coming for HTML5…

Posted on 2016-10-07 Greg

Back in May, LEAD released its first HTML5 toolkit. While some releases add to or optimize existing products, this release featured a completely new SDK, which has generated a lot of excitement. HTML5 has been a hot topic in the developer community, so we were anxious to provide a toolkit that leveraged our many years of imaging development experience for the HTML and JavaScript community. From the beta program to the official release, our HTML5 SDK has had an overwhelming amount of interest. This interest has generated a lot of incredible feedback, which we have used to improve on the initial release.

I sat in on an engineering meeting today and was able to get a sneak peek of what’s coming in the next week or two. Whether you are designing a mobile friendly PACS client, a document imaging application, or a basic image viewer, the next update will have something for you. The list was pretty long, so I've hand-picked a few of the best features and updates coming in the next week or so.

General Image Viewer

Scroll and mouse button support for the viewer
Scale-to-gray interpolation when resizing an image
Client side save support to PNG
Drag/Drop support
Large image support

Medical Viewer

Cine playback support
Window level speed enhancements
Signed image support
Modality, linear modality, VOI, and linear VOI LUT support
Min/Max bit, high bit, and bits allocated support
Custom palette for window level
Gesture sensitivity support for window level
Option to reset the window level to original values
Photometric interpretation support
Role management support
Session timeout support
Mechanism to control the number of concurrent sessions

As you can see, we have packed quite a bit into this next release planned. There are even more features planned for later this summer. Stay tuned for more updates, videos and release dates.

UPDATE: This update has been released and is now available for download!

Thanks,
