We have received several requests regarding PACS and DICOM Communication within our Android imaging SDK. One way of accomplishing this is by using JSON to communicate with the RESTful web services included with the HTML5 Zero Footprint DICOM Viewer.

The snippet below shows a portion of the asynchronous code that calls the RESTful Medical Viewer Service and then parses the JSON response to get the SOP Instance UID. After that, the SOP Instance UID is used to get the image data and put it into an InputStream.

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.
