Want to hear a cool fact? LEADTOOLS Version 18 was released one year ago (January 30th, 2013). So to celebrate V18's first birthday, LEAD is giving you a present! Today we released a major update to LEADTOOLS Version 18, highlighted by many new features and enhancements to the entire Document, Medical, Multimedia and Imaging product lines.

There is a lot to be said about this release, so your best bet is to check out the press release or see a list of all the new features and enhancements. We hope you enjoy this update and join us in saying "happy birthday LEADTOOLS V18!"

This month, we have published a white paper on the new LEADTOOLS HL7 SDK technology that was added in Version 19. A versatile and popular messaging standard for medical applications, HL7 truly broadens the scope of LEADTOOLS SDKs. Since HL7 is a messaging standard for interoperability between any healthcare application, this new library within LEADTOOLS V19 can be used across the board in imaging (PACS) and non-imaging (EHR, RIS, HIS, billing, patient tracking, etc.) applications alike.

If you are developing any kind of application for the healthcare industry, this white paper is especially relevant as HL7 is already the worldwide messaging standard for the exchange of patient care and clinical information. We hope you enjoy this informative read about such an important standard, its general uses and how customers are using LEADTOOLS to implement it.
