Introduction

The LEADTOOLS Medical Web Viewer Framework enables programmers to quickly build high-quality, full-featured, web-based medical image viewer applications.

It includes WCF components and services that enable you to implement high-level interfaces for distributing medical studies from a server to web clients, even with very limited knowledge of web hosting and web service development. This is ideal for web-based solutions like querying patient studies and viewing images from remote computers using Microsoft Internet Explorer.

The plug-in capable design also allows developers to use the framework for non-DICOM images or binary data transfer, and to extend an implemented web service to include application-specific data transfer and communication capabilities.

The LEADTOOLS Medical Web Viewer Framework Module architecture includes both server-side and client-side components with security options.

Key Features:

  • Rich Client Web Viewer. This feature-rich, powerful WinForms control includes:

  • Tools most commonly used in radiology applications, like window level, rotate, flip, and invert
  • Synchronized scrolling, zooming and panning.
  • Image markup and annotation.
  • Measurement and region processing tools.
  • Options for low-memory usage in large-study viewing.
  • Signed and unsigned display for extended grayscale images typical of medical applications.
  • Multiple display layouts, including stack, cine and series view.
  • Printing to Windows printers.

  • WCF Services. Web-hosted services provide/enable you to:

  • Addresses and Interfaces to manage, store, query and Retrieve DICOM data sets, image sets or thumbnails.
  • Upload single DICOM file or a set from DICOM media using DICOMDIR.
  • Query for patient, study and series.
  • Get DICOM tags only.
  • Get full DICOM files with all image information.
  • Get full resolution image or a thumbnail representation.
  • Perform Multi-threaded background image streaming to enhance performance.
  • Support Thin Client and Rich Client implementations.
  • Dynamically remove or add plug-in services as needed.

  • WCF Security.

  • Certificate exchange for strong message encryption and client authentication.
  • Limit service access to authorized users.
  • Options to manage user authentication, groups, and roles.

  • Client-side Cache Management.

  • Client-side caching of download studies for fast reloads and network traffic reduction.
  • Local cache storage management
  • Encryption option for local cache to protect patient's health record.

  • CAB File Generator. This wizard generates the .Net runtime rights .CAB file

Supported Environments
