CHARLOTTE,
NC - September 17, 1999 -
LEAD Technologies announces the immediate availability of
LEADTOOLS ® Medical Express Suite, the newest in
a complete line of award-winning imaging toolkits. LEADTOOLS
Medical Express Suite offers complete support for DICOM Communications,
including high-level connection and communication functionality,
support for all 12 DICOM service classes (Query/Retrieve,
Storage, Verification, Patient Management, etc.), direct support
for PACs, and extensive, ready to use sample source code.
The toolkit provides the developer a choice of 3 different
programming interfaces - API, C++ Class Library or ActiveX.
"LEAD's
Medical toolkit is a dream-come-true for any programmer needing
DICOM support in his application, for three very important
reasons. First, LEAD's comprehensive implementation of the
DICOM specification, combined with a very flexible approach,
reliably reads more variations of DICOM files than any other
application. Second, the user has full power to access the
DICOM Basic Directory in the easiest possible way. Finally,
the nightmare of creating a DICOM client/server application
is gone, and the door is open to what was once a very exclusive
community".
Gabriel
E. Pislaru, LEAD's DICOM Development Project Manager
In addition
to complete support for DICOM 3.0 including all modalities
(CR, CT, MR, NM, US, RF, SC, VL, etc.), LEADTOOLS supports
1-16, 24 and 32 bit color, 1-16 bit grayscale (including 12
bit grayscale) with specialized medical image processing,
display and window leveling capabilities. LEADTOOLS Medical
Express Suite provides high-level support for easily creating
and editing all DICOM IOD classes at file, module and element
level, and complete DICOM Basic Directory support (read/write).
ADVANCED

functions for easily initiating and terminating Associations
(connections between DICOM applications).
- Automatic
and transparent conversion of DICOM Data Sets to/from the
specific Transfer Syntaxes understood by connected DICOM
Application Entities
- Simple,
high-level functions encapsulating complex DICOM Service
Requests and Responses, speeding the process of coding application
communications.
- Complete
support for Message Exchange, including DIMSE (DICOM Message
Service Element) service user and provider, and Message

The Medical
Express Suite also includes optimized document image processing
filters, and high performance decompression and viewing of
