Leadtools.Dicom.AddIn Introduction

The Leadtools.Dicom.AddIn assembly provides classes that allow you to quickly create addins for PACS systems. For more information about the LEADTOOLS PACS Framework, refer to LEADTOOLS PACS Framework.This framework allows the developer to quickly develop scaleable full featured PACSS (i.e. Windows Service, Association and secure communications, debug and audit log). It also allows the developer to organize DICOM services into different processes (i.e. LAN vs. WAN, secure vs. unsecure, HIS/RIS vs. PACS Archive).

The Leadtools.Dicom.AddIn assembly exposes specific interfaces that allow addins to implement additional functionality for the server. The following features can be provided by addins:

• Specify supported presentation contexts
• Respond to specific DICOM messages
• Spy on DICOM communication without affecting the message
• Handle multiple DICOM messages with one addin.
