LEADTOOLS - The World Leader in Imaging SDKs LEAD Technologies
 
 

Why is LEADTOOLS the Best DICOM SDK?

 

LEADTOOLS provides extensive support for DICOM files (all classes/modalities, DICOMDIR, CR, CT, MR, NM, US, RF, SC, VL, etc.) in the Medical Imaging toolkit, allowing you to create and save new DICOM files, or read, modify and save existing DICOM files. With this support you can do the following:

Support for 8, 10, 12, 16, 24 and 32 bit grayscale images including JPEG (8, 10, 12, 16-bit Lossless grayscale, 8, 12 bit lossy grayscale, 24-bit lossless and lossy color), JPEG2000 (including lossy and lossless 8-16 bit grayscale images and 24-bit color) Run Length, Uncompressed, Photometric Interpretation (Monochrome1, Monochrome2, Palletized, RGB, ARGB, CMYK, YBR Full 422, YBR Full, YBR_RCT, YBR_ICT), and single and multi-frame images.

  • Complete support for the latest DICOM Specifications, including all standard IOD classes and modalities (CR, CT, MR, NM, US, RF, SC, VL, etc.) and VR's (value representations)
  • Provides easy implementation and full support for DICOM Basic Directory. High-level objects to create DICOMDIR in few lines of code
  • High Level and programmer-friendly components for DICOM Communication and PACS
  • Powerful viewer control capable of 3D Volume Reconstruction
  • Change one transfer syntax to another transfer syntax with one function call
  • Automatic recognition of DICOM files (Little-Endian/Big-Endian, Implicit/Explicit VR, etc.)
  • Single or multi-frame images (compressed or uncompressed)
  • Largest set of hardware manufacturers supported
  • Contains ready to use source code and executables
  • 3 different Programming interfaces to DICOM - API, C++ Class Library and .NET Classes
  • High-level and low-level functions for easy navigation and manipulation (insert, delete, modify) of data sets.
  • Automatically adds the Item Delimitation Item, and Sequence Delimitation Item to simplify Nesting of Data Sets (VR of “SQ”).
  • Easy to manipulate ordinal positioning of Items (FFFE,E000).
  • Simplified handling of repeating groups (multiple overlays and curve data)
  • Supports Encapsulated or Native encoding of Pixel Data for Single or multi-frame compressed or uncompressed images
  • DICOM LUT/Overlay/Palette support - The high-level support for Modality LUT, VOI LUT, Palette Color Image in LEADTOOLS Medical Imaging means developers can implement DICOM Presentation state into an application with ease. LEADTOOLS can also aapply the Modality LUT to the image data to further simplify image processing and statistical calculations.
  • DICOM Annotation Object support - Store/retrieve DICOM annotations from a dataset and convert them to LEAD Annotation objects and vice versa. Annotations can also be converted to regions of interest for additional statistical calculations and for storing to DICOM Presentation State.
