Feature Description
The LEADTOOLS DICOM Communication SDK technology provides high-level communications components that simplify the creation of DICOM client/server applications (e.g., PACS) with complete implementations for all DICOM service classes such as Verification, Query/Retrieve, Storage, and Patient Management.
With a LEADTOOLS product that includes DICOM Communication SDK technology, .NET (C# & VB), WinRT, Silverlight, C, and C++ developers can create unified and seamless solutions by adding DICOM communications to their applications and creating middleware to connect disparate devices, applications, and PACS systems.
Overview of LEADTOOLS DICOM Communication SDK Technology
- Complete support for Message Exchange, including DIMSE (DICOM Message Service Element) service users and providers, and Message Exchange Upper Layer Protocol
- Multiple clients and servers via asynchronous or synchronous TCP/IP connections
- High-level functions that initiate and terminate associations, thereby automating the filling of PDU structures (Protocol Data Units)
- Automatic and transparent conversion between specific transfer syntaxes required by the associated application entities
- High-level functions and components automate DICOM Request and Response command sets, greatly simplify the addition of DICOM communication to your application
- High-level DICOM Print library
- Secure data transmission with TLS and ISCL security profiles
- Use IPv4 and IPv6 addressing
- Low-level functions to customize network sockets
With the LEADTOOLS DICOM Communication SDK Technology, Developers Can:
- Open and initialize a DICOM network connection
- Create a DICOM Associate Connection to transfer data and messages
- Customize the DICOM Associate Connection for data and transfer types
- Retrieve information about the DICOM Associate Connection
- Retrieve information about the DICOM Network Connection
- Send and receive messages using either the high-level or low-level functions
-
Create consumers and providers for any DICOM service class, including:
- Any DICOM Message Service Element (DIMSE)
- Basic Worklist Management
- Media Storage
- Patient Management
- Print Management
- Queue Management
- Query/Retrieve
- Storage Commitment
- Storage Service
- Study Content Notification
- Study Management
- Verification
- Results Management
Create DIMSE-C services associated with composite SOP classes:
- C Cancel Request / Response
- C Echo Request / Response
- C Find Request / Response
- C Get Request / Response
- C Move Request / Response
- C Store Request / Response
Create DIMSE-N services associated with normalized SOP Classes and provide an extended set of operations and notifications:
- N Action Request / Response
- N Create Request / Response
- N Delete Request / Response
- N Event Report Request / Response
- N Get Request / Response
- N Set Request / Response
AE's can serve in one of two roles:
- Invoke a DIMSE-service-user (SCU)
- Perform a DIMSE-service-user (SCP)
