LEAD Technologies and National Health IT Week 2014

Posted on 2014-09-15 by Katie
National Health IT Week

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.

New White Paper: DICOM Images and Metadata with LEADTOOLS

Posted on 2014-09-02 by Walter

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.

DICOM Images and Metadata with LEADTOOLS
Digital healthcare is a booming industry all over the world and the benefits of electronically stored medical records and images are being recognized and adopted at an increasing rate every day. Its importance has even reached the level to which governments are handing out large sums of money to invest in and encourage the development of this infrastructure. One of the most important building blocks of digital healthcare is the DICOM standard that deals with images. This white paper will show how to use the LEADTOOLS DICOM SDK to break through these complexities with its programmer-friendly and powerful toolkit.

We have also published this white paper on The CodeProject if you would like to read it in an online format.

Using LEADTOOLS HTML5 with Intel XDK to Create Cross-platform Mobile App

Posted on 2014-08-14 by Walter

The LEADTOOLS HTML5 / JavaScript interface was built with more than just web-based, cross-platform application development in mind. Did you know you can also create native and hybrid apps that can be published to mobile application stores for iOS, Android and Windows Phone? That is actually the case for almost any HTML5 application, but there are libraries and tools that help make that process easier.

One such tool is Intel XDK. In the same way that LEADTOOLS expedites and simplifies all of your imaging requirements such as display, annotations, OCR, barcode, DICOM, PACS and more, Intel XDK helps with the deployment and device integration aspect. Need access to the camera, local files and more? Want to write only one application and deploy it to multiple app stores? This is all possible with Intel XDK, and LEADTOOLS plugs into this innovative development environment without a hitch.

One of our support agents took a crack at this and has written a tutorial and downloadable example of using LEADTOOLS HTML5 / JavaScript SDK with Intel XDK. For more information and to download the source code, check out the original forum post.
