LEADTOOLS Anywhere™ is getting pretty popular and keeping our sales and support staff busy. LEAD Technologies is a common sight around the world at various tradeshows and conferences. With our new cross-platform libraries we can now be a part of even more, and next week will mark the first time ever that LEAD will be an exhibitor at an Android specific conference!

If you haven't noticed already, it's trade show season here in the US. In fact, I'm writing this post after setting up our booth at the Android Developer Conference (AnDevCon) in Boston! Next week, June 3 - 6, LEAD will be exhibiting at Microsoft's TechEd North America in New Orleans in booth #328.

We look forward to showcasing our entire document, medical, raster and multimedia imaging product lines. Not only do we have the latest and greatest imaging SDK features for all the wonderful Microsoft products featured at TechEd like .NET, Win 32/64, Windows 8, WinRT, Surface, and Windows Phones, but we also have the most powerful and versatile cross-platform imaging libraries for HTML5, iOS, OS X, Android and Linux in case you are looking to port your Microsoft apps to additional platforms.

At first glance, medical imaging technology and web may appear to be incompatible technologies because of non-standard medical-image bit depths and the huge amount of data associated with even just one DICOM dataset. However, as demonstrated with this last release, the engineers at LEAD Technologies continue to develop frameworks, technologies and algorithms that provide HTML5 developers tools to work with medical images over the wire, while still ensuring great UX for their users.

With input from numerous customer requests, structured display, templates and custom layouts have been added to the HTML5 Medical Viewer. With these features, the end-user can design custom display templates choosing from three ways to arrange series images: sequentially, DICOM instance number or custom alternative with JavaScript. Users can save the templates to a LEADTOOLS storage server as a DICOM structured display dataset; the LEADTOOLS Medical Viewer will use this to render series.

LEAD Technologies has released a substantial upgrade to its LEADTOOLS version 19 products that touches a wide range of technologies including OCR, document imaging, medical imaging, and PACS. Read our press release for more information on all the features included with this upgrade. As you will see, this release is jam-packed with new features and enhancements. That’s why over the next couple of weeks, we’ll be highlighting specific sets of features from the release here on our blog, so stay tuned!

In the meantime, download your free, fully functional evaluation SDK. Also, as always, this upgrade is available to all LEADTOOLS Document and Medical Imaging customers with a current maintenance plan. Just contact sales@leadtools.com to get the latest download.
