Leadtools.Dicom.AddIn Introduction (PACS)

Summary

The Leadtools.Dicom.AddIn assembly provides classes for quickly creating add-ins for PACS systems. The assembly exposes specific interfaces that allow add-ins to implement additional functionality for the server.

Key Features

Specify supported presentation contexts
Respond to specific DICOM messages
Spy on DICOM communication without affecting the message
Handle multiple DICOM messages with one add-in
Process command set requests and responses.

PACS Framework Features

The PACS framework is a framework for easily creating DICOM-based servers. The framework consists of a Windows Service (Leadtools.Dicom.Service.exe) that implements a user-defined DICOM service. The Windows Service provides the following features:

Handles DICOM connections
Handles the certificate exchange/verification phase of TLS DICOM Security negotiation
Handles DICOM association negotiation
Supports DICOM Message add-ins that allow user-supplied add-ins to respond to DICOM messages.

This framework allows the developer to quickly develop scalable, full-featured PACS (i.e., Windows Service, Association and secure communications, debug and audit log). It also allows the developer to organize DICOM services into different processes (i.e., LAN vs. WAN, secure vs. unsecure, HIS/RIS vs. PACS Archive).

The PACS Framework exposes specific interfaces that allow add-ins to implement additional functionality for the server. With add-ins you can:

Specify supported presentation contexts
Respond to specific DICOM messages
Spy on DICOM communication without affecting the message
Handle multiple DICOM messages with one add-in.
