The PACS Framework is a framework for easily creating DICOM-based servers. The framework consists of a Windows Service (Leadtools.Dicom.Service.exe) that implements a user-defined DICOM service. The Windows Service provides the following features:
- Handles DICOM connections
- Handles DICOM association negotiation
- Supports DICOM Message addins that allow user-supplied addins to respond to DICOM messages.
This framework allows the developer to quickly develop scaleable full featured PACSS (i.e. Windows Service, Association and secure communications, debug and audit log). It also allows the developer to organize DICOM services into different processes (i.e. LAN vs. WAN, secure vs. unsecure, HIS/RIS vs. PACS Archive).
The LEADTOOLS PACS Framework exposes specific interfaces that allow addins to implement additional functionality for the server. The following features can be provided by addins:
- Specify supported presentation contexts
- Respond to specific DICOM messages
- Spy on DICOM communication without affecting the message
- Handle multiple DICOM messages with one addin.
