May 4 - 8, 2015

Booth # 516

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.

LEAD Technologies is pleased to announce the release of a major update to the LEADTOOLS Document and Medical Product lines. The headliner of this update is the Advantage OCR engine, which boasts a plethora of improvements which contribute to a significant increase in overall speed and accuracy.

Last week, I officially introduced LEADTOOLS Version 18 for the first time and gave a bird's eye view of the changes coming to the product line. Today I'm covering the fun stuff: features!

LEADTOOLS Anywhere

Of course, the marquee update in version 18 is the completion of LEADTOOLS Anywhere. Announced last spring, our executive management put forth a vision and plan to incrementally release cross-platform versions of LEADTOOLS. First came zero footprint HTML5 and JavaScript tools, then native libraries for WinRT (the new Windows 8 platform previously called Metro), and now with version 18 there will be native libraries for iOS, OS X, Android and Linux.
