When LEAD Technologies set out to create its HTML5 SDK, we wanted to do it right by making LEADTOOLS the fastest and most interactive toolkit available. Thanks to our many customers investing in and developing with this technology, we take that as a vote of confidence that we have succeeded in attaining that goal.

There are many ways to design a zero footprint application, and unfortunately the performance and quality often suffer due to many applications simply pushing all of the image processing to a server. With the LEADTOOLS JavaScript libraries, you can gain all the advantages of zero footprint development without losing the user-friendliness of an application that can provide instantaneous visual feedback.

A few days ago, we announced the latest major update to LEADTOOLS Version 19 and listed the updates made to the Document Imaging Engine. Today we're continuing in the excitement of this release and highlighting what's new in the LEADTOOLS Medical Imaging Engine.

LEADTOOLS received several updates to its document and medical imaging toolkits today. Most notably, the LEADTOOLS HTML5/JavaScript Document Viewer now has the ability to run within even the most restricted environments without compromising security. Several under-the-hood updates including logging, diskless caching, configuration settings, and the like all contribute to create a lightweight, web-based viewer that can be hosted on both Windows and Linux servers, as well as third-party cloud hosting services such as Microsoft Azure.

Yesterday, we introduced LEADTOOLS Version 20 and its new development platforms to you. Today we're diving into the features.

Overall, the toolkit is faster and more efficient, and major areas of focus in this release were the Recognition Engines, Document Viewer, Document Formats, Medical Web Viewer, and Hanging Protocols.

As always, LEAD will be exhibiting this year at the RSNA Annual Meeting in Chicago. The theme of RSNA 2017, Explore. Invent. Transform, invites attendees to investigate and advance radiology through innovation as a means of creating positive impact on patient care. Our entire product line will be on display and available to demo at the meeting, with a special focus on our Medical & Document Imaging technologies and upcoming major version release.
