Medical Image Viewer Control

The LEADTOOLS Medical Image Viewer Control 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. Whether you are building a PACS for radiology, cardiology, mammography, ophthalmology, pathology, dermatology, dentistry, or any other specialty, this control will eliminate the complexity from your project and give you a solid foundation you can rely on.

Key Features:

• Display medical grayscale and colored images including MRI, CT, Digital X-Ray, and Ultrasound.

• Display overlay information on the images—an essential feature for any high-end medical viewer. The programmer has full control over the text to be displayed and how it should be positioned and sized inside each window. The control also comes with a set of built-in overlays such as: window center,  window width values, and field of view.  

• Adjust screen layout both manually and programmatically. For example, display an MRI image enlarged 2X2, beside an unenlarged (1x1) XA series of four images at 1X1.  

• Load and play animations.

• Interpolated image display for higher quality.

• Built-in ruler that adjusts based on the DPI of the image and the zoom or scale factor.

• Full control over display container properties such as colors, cursors, and rulers.

• Reset Window Level, Position, Rotation, Zoom

• Viewer Display Cell Support Includes:

• Add, remove, or refresh pages or images to the viewer cells.

• Add different images with different sizes to the same cell.

• Fit images to a cell.

• Manage different types of medical viewer overlay tags like Frame, Scale or Ruler unit.

• Change the scale and offset of a single sub-cell. Includes an event that fires when the active sub-cell has been changed.

• Calibrate cells without using the annotation ruler.

• Freeze, and unfreeze cells.

• Invert the images in a specified cell or sub-cell.

• Get or set the perspective rotation angle of the specified cell or sub-cell

• Built-in tools include:

• Window Leveling: Maps grayscale intensities using a user defined color map (LUT). Includes set/reset default values, with low memory options.

• Zooming and scaling. Get or set image information like height, width, or coordinates.

• Panning and moving.

• Image magnification.

• Single-click stacking or scrolling from one image to another in a series.

• Annotation Support Includes:

• Event notification when a new annotation object is created.

• Event notification when an annotation is selected.

• Load and save annotation objects drawn on the control.

• Rotate, flip and reverse the annotation container.

• Change fore and back color of the text object.

• Region of Interest Support Includes:

• Load, save, and print region information drawn on the control.

• Event notification when a region is created, removed or changed.

• Click-and-drag mouse actions to expand, shrink, nudge, and change size or shape of region borders.

• Tool Settings and Actions Include:

• Apply tool effect programmatically or through user interaction.

• Apply tool effect to a single image, to all images in a series, or to all series managed by the control.

• Apply actions and adjust the MedicalViewer while an animation is running.

• Obtain image coordinates corresponding to user-specified mouse coordinates.

• Events for mouse actions.

• Specify mouse button actions.

• Specify keyboard button actions.

• Specify cursor display and style for annotations and regions.

Typical applications that can be built using this control

• 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.
