The LEADTOOLS MedicalViewer namespace 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 .The LEADTOOLS MedicalViewer namespace is included in the LEADTOOLS  Medical Imaging toolkit.

This namespace 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 namespace will eliminate project complexity and provide a solid, reliable foundation. Typical applications that can be built using this namespace include:

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.  

Supported Environments:

The toolkit comes in Win32 and x64 editions that can support development of software applications for any of the following environments:

• Windows 7
• Windows Vista
• Windows XP
• Windows 2000
• Windows 2000 Server and newer
