Overview

What is the LEADTOOLS Medical Web Viewer?

The LEADTOOLS Medical Web Viewer  combines Microsoft .NET features with robust LEADTOOLS imaging and compression technologies, making it possible to bring a rich client experience to a state-of-the-art, web-based medical/radiology image viewing application.

Utilizing LEADTOOLS and Microsoft.NET technology, the application demonstrates basic features that can be made available in a telemedicine solution. Some of these features include:

•      Querying for a patient/study based on different keys

•      Viewing images from any computer with an internet connection and running Microsoft Internet Explorer,

•      Support for all imaging modalities

•      A high level interface for distributing studies from server to web client

•      A configurable lossy and lossless image compression option (including wavelet based JPEG 2000) for background image streaming from a server to the web client.

This application also demonstrates many features offered by LEADTOOLS Medical Imaging SDKs, including:

•      Support for 8, 10, 12, 16 grayscale and 24 bit images. These include 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 DICOM 3 (2003) file specification, including all standard IOD VR's (value representations), classes, and modalities (CR, CT, MR, NM, US, RF, SC, VL, etc.).

•      Single or multi-frame images (compressed or uncompressed).

•      DICOM LUT/Overlay/Palette support.

•      Rendering images or selected regions to a display device while controlling position/scaling; resample method (normal/bilinear/bicubic), brightness/contrast/gamma, color-reduction/dithering, image (source) and device (destination) clipping, and more.

•      A Pan Viewer Control to scroll and pan an image that is larger than the viewing area, and a Magnifying Glass Control for viewing details in an image.

•      Simplified, yet powerful window level support.

•      Image markup and annotations, including rulers and angle measurement tools.

This application also demonstrates how to use LEADTOOLS with the following technologies:

•      XML web services.

•      ASP.NET.

•      Windows forms and user controls. 

•      ADO.NET and Microsoft SQL Server.
