What is Does

This Objective-C project will process images using LEADTOOLS Version 18.

If you've ever had an MRI, CT or large number of X-rays during a medical visit, chances are you hoped to get a copy of your images to show your family, friends or another doctor. Not too many years ago you might get lucky and take home a huge film sheet to hold up against a bright light. Thankfully, today's digital world has made it more practical by storing your study on a CD or DVD with an embedded viewing application. If this service is available, some hospitals may hand them out as common practice while others may only provide it upon request.

Unfortunately this capability is not as common as you would think. Unbeknownst to many in the medical imaging sector are the numerous benefits that go beyond the basic take-home copy for patients. Check out our latest white paper which helps explain what DICOM Media Creation Management is and does, and how LEADTOOLS can help you along the way.
