Leadtools.Dicom.WCF Introduction

Summary

The LEADTOOLS Web Viewer Framework Module 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.

Web-hosted WCF 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 DICOM DIR.

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.
