Overview

What is the LEADTOOLS Medical Web Viewer?

The LEADTOOLS Medical Web Viewer  combines Microsoft .NET features with robust LEADTOOLS imaging and compression technologies, making it possible to bring a rich client experience to a state-of-the-art, web-based medical/radiology image viewing application.

Utilizing LEADTOOLS and Microsoft.NET technology, the application demonstrates basic features that can be made available in a telemedicine solution. Some of these features include:

      Querying for a patient/study based on different keys

      Viewing images from any computer with an internet connection and running Microsoft Internet Explorer,

      Support for all imaging modalities

      A high level interface for distributing studies from server to web client

      A configurable lossy and lossless image compression option (including wavelet based JPEG 2000) for background image streaming from a server to the web client.

This application also demonstrates many features offered by LEADTOOLS Medical Imaging SDKs, including:

      Support for 8, 10, 12, 16 grayscale and 24 bit images. These include JPEG (8, 10, 12, 16-bit Lossless grayscale, 8, 12 bit lossy grayscale, 24-bit lossless and lossy color), JPEG2000 (including lossy and lossless 8-16 bit grayscale images and 24-bit color), Run Length, Uncompressed, Photometric Interpretation (Monochrome1, Monochrome2, Palletized, RGB, ARGB, CMYK, YBR Full 422, YBR Full, YBR_RCT, YBR_ICT), and single and multi-frame images.

      Complete support for the DICOM 3 (2003) file specification, including all standard IOD VR's (value representations), classes, and modalities (CR, CT, MR, NM, US, RF, SC, VL, etc.).

      Single or multi-frame images (compressed or uncompressed).

      DICOM LUT/Overlay/Palette support.

      Rendering images or selected regions to a display device while controlling position/scaling; resample method (normal/bilinear/bicubic), brightness/contrast/gamma, color-reduction/dithering, image (source) and device (destination) clipping, and more.

      A Pan Viewer Control to scroll and pan an image that is larger than the viewing area, and a Magnifying Glass Control for viewing details in an image.

      Simplified, yet powerful window level support.

      Image markup and annotations, including rulers and angle measurement tools.

This application also demonstrates how to use LEADTOOLS with the following technologies:

      XML web services.

      ASP.NET.

      Windows forms and user controls. 

      ADO.NET and Microsoft SQL Server.
