LEADTOOLS provides .NET, WinRT, Silverlight, C and C++ developers complete support for DICOM data sets described in the latest DICOM specification and supplements, including all IOD classes and modalities such as CR, CT, MR, NM, US, RF, SC and VL. These high level libraries and components are a must-have for any software developer creating a medical imaging application. Whether you need image display, editing of data set information, DICOMDIR, or more in depth features such as communication, PACS, web viewing, 3D reconstruction or more, LEADTOOLS makes it easy and saves countless hours of research and development.

With LEADTOOLS, .NET, WinRT, Web and C/C++ developers can create an entire PACS solution or any component of a PACS workflow. Implement DICOM Communication to query, retrieve, and store DICOM image data between PACS clients and servers. LEADTOOLS provides easy to use, high-level components for rapidly developing your PACS solution.

Available as an add-on is LEADTOOLS Medical 3D SDK technology, which simplifies reconstruction techniques for three dimensional visual representations of two dimensional image slices such as MRI and CT stacks. LEADTOOLS Medical 3D SDK Technology offers many different alternate views of the original data using various 3D reconstruction techniques such as MPR, VRT, MIP, MinIP and SSD, and projection techniques supporting clipping planes, slab, scale, zoom, camera control, threshold, transparency and image processing. Examining volumetric data improves the speed of interpretation, recognition and total exam evaluation time for physicians by providing visualization of anatomical details which are difficult to diagnose using 2D slices alone.

LEADTOOLS Medical Imaging SDKs include everything developers need to add Health Level Seven (HL7) functionality into their applications. The programmer-friendly HL7 libraries for .NET (C# & VB) in LEADTOOLS simplify the integration of complex and widely-adopted HL7 standards into any Electronic Health Record (EHR), DICOM or PACS application. HL7 defines several communication standards for transferring clinical and administrative data between hospital information systems. These messaging standards define how information is packaged and communicated between parties and facilitate interoperability between Patient Administration Systems (PAS), Electronic Practice Management (EPM) systems, Laboratory Information Systems (LIS), Pharmacy and Billing systems, Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems.
