LEADTOOLS Medical Engine

LEADTOOLS products that include the LEADTOOLS medical engine have been the world's #1 medical imaging and DICOM toolkits for many years. These award-winning SDKs offer full DICOM dataset, communication and security support, medical-related image processing and medical display, including 2D and 3D images. LEADTOOLS Medical toolkits are indispensable for programmers working on applications for life science industries.

LEADTOOLS Medical Imaging libraries are widely distributed in the medical arena, particularly LEAD's DICOM libraries. AAmong LEADTOOLS Medical Imaging customers who have distributed FDA registered and/or FDA 501K cleared real world applications are Microsoft, GE Medical Systems, Bard Access Systems, Stryker Endoscopy, Immucor, Medical Standard, Cooper Surgical, DentalEye, Apteryx, Carl Zeiss, Foresight Imaging, Ophthalmic Imaging Systems, Smith & Nephew, Standard Imaging, Topcon Medical Systems, and Witt Biomedical.

LEADTOOLS Medical toolkits include the LEADTOOLS PACS Framework, which encapsulates LEAD's decade of medical imaging and communication experience as an extensible framework for rapid application and system development. The new high-level architecture provides an end-to-end solution for transitioning into paperless/filmless systems. Developers can build a complete PACS system with features such as a central PACS archive, study routing, work-list service, rich PACS Workstation, and web based DICOM viewing. DICOM Viewing includes support for advanced 3D visualization (VRT, MIP, MinIP, SSD, 3D Volume Slab) with different display layouts, diagnostic tools such as Window level, reference line, 2D MPR, Cut plane, stacking, cine, MIP Slab and more.

The easy to use LEADTOOLS high level Medical Viewer also offers various action tools comparable to high-end radiology work stations for measurement (such as ruler, protractor, region statistics), region creation and adjustment (magic wand, nudge tool, shrink tool, etc), annotation (text label, arrow, rectangle, ellipse, etc), magnify glass, zoom, and pan. 3D Volume manipulation can also be achieved with the LEADTOOLS Medical Viewer through tools such as the Pan Camera, Pan Object, Rotate Object, Scale Object, Zoom Camera, Alpha, and Cut Plane tools.

In addition, the all inclusive capture and convert to PACS (PrintToPACS) utility is capable of capturing data from screens (screen capture), scanners, digital cameras/media (TWAIN\WIA). This output can then be print (virtual printer driver) associated with patient/study information on a PACS (i.e. using a DICOM query service) or IS ( i.e. using a DICOM Worklist Service), and stored to a PACS archive for safe keeping. This powerful utility is provided with the PACS framework with sample source code so you can easily integrate it with your applications. This PrintToPACS utility is ideal for incorporating legacy non digital and non-DICOM applications and devices into a fully digital system, which eliminates the need for costly replacement of legacy systems and devices.

Quickly develop EMR and EHR applications with LEADTOOLS Medical Imaging SDKs so that your customers can take advantage of the tax incentives afforded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. This act provides a $19 billion opportunity to promote the adoption of electronic heath record adoption in the US. Eligible healthcare professionals and institutions participating in Medicare/Medicaid may receive additional funds/tax incentives if they can establish “Meaningful Use” of a certified EHR. LEADTOOLS Medical Imaging SDKs include the tools to be able to quickly develop or enhance an EHR/EMR application so that you can be in a position to benefit from this groundbreaking legislation.
