DICOM Annotation Features
The LEADTOOLS DICOM Annotation features provide support for saving LEADTOOLS annotations directly to and from a DICOM Data Set, as private data. This support allows you to save multiple annotations to the same file, with password protection, and edit the annotations later. You can also convert to/from DICOM and LEAD Annotation objects.
LEADTOOLS offers a number of functions to manipulate DICOM graphic and text annotations and their related attributes, defined under the "Grayscale Softcopy Presentation State" Information Object Definition (IOD) in the DICOM standard. This IOD outlines attributes of vector graphics and text annotations that should be made available by a display device for application to an image.
Using LEADTOOLS DICOM Annotations, information about the Graphic Annotation Module can be retrieved from any Presentation State object and applied to a bitmap image as graphic layers. Developers can also easily add other graphic objects defined in the DICOM Standard to different layers in a presentation state object.
Further, high level interfaces are provided to convert DICOM annotations into LEADTOOLS annotations, and vise versa. The toolkit provides you with the ability to store and retrieve LEADTOOLS annotation files as private data elements inside a DICOM dataset. It supports storing up to 256 single page or multi-page annotation files, either in the LEAD native format or a binary encoded format.
