Medical Imaging

Develop powerful Medical Imaging applications with the LEADTOOLS Medical Imaging SDK. Features include comprehensive DICOM data set support, 8-16 bit extended grayscale image support, image annotation, specialised extended grayscale image display such as window level and LUT processing, and medical-specific image processing. Other features include lossless JPEG compression, and signed and unsigned image data processing.

LEADTOOLS Medical Imaging is the entry-level product to develop medical imaging applications with LEADTOOLS. More advanced features, including DICOM Communication, PACS Client and Server, and HTML5/JavaScript viewing, are available within higher-level toolkits and add-on modules within the Medical Imaging Family.
