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:
-
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.
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:
