Introduction

The LEADTOOLS Medical Image Viewer Control C++ Class Library allows you to incorporate Image Viewer Control functions in your applications. It provides support for displaying one or more images and for the real-time manipulation of one or more images .LEADTOOLS Medical Image Viewer Control C++ Class Library functions are included with LEADTOOLS PACS Imaging

This C++ Class Library is a high-level component for building medical display applications such as DICOM viewers, view stations, Teleradiology solutions, and high-end diagnostic workstations found in radiology and other medical specialty departments. When building a PACS for radiology, cardiology, mammography, ophthalmology, pathology, dermatology, dentistry or any other specialty, this control will eliminate project complexity and provide a solid, reliable foundation.

Typical applications that can be built using this control include:

High-end medical diagnostic workstations.
Medical review and quality assurance stations.
DICOM viewers.
Light-weight viewers that are typically distributed on a CD with patient images.
Web-based medical viewers.

Key Features:

Display medical grayscale and colored images, including MRI, CT, Digital X-Ray, and Ultrasound.
Adjust screen layout both manually and programmatically. For example, you might display two different image series side by side at different scales.
