Imaging tool development firm LEAD Technologies has incorporated a number of new medical imaging technologies into version 20 of its LEADtools software development kit (SDK).
The firm's zero-footprint Medical Web Viewer now supports 3D volume rendering, enabling customizable virtual reality technology (VRT), maximum intensity projection (MIP), and multiplanar reformatting (MPR) projections to be rendered on a server and transmitted to any client using a modern web browser, LEAD said. A new "dark theme" user interface option also has been added for Medical Web Viewer.
In addition, LEAD has updated the DICOM communication and PACS SDK components to utilize a plug-in type architecture for Transport Layer Security (TLS). LEAD's DICOM Storage Server and Medical Workstation also now use new encryption technology, including support for TLS 1.2 cipher suites as recommended in part 15 of the DICOM Standard, according to the company.
In other new features, LEAD's Storage Server now also offers configurable security settings for both incoming and outgoing messages, the ability to specify role selection for all DICOM message service elements (DIMSE) services and per individual storage information object definition (IOD), better client management for large organizations, support for long user names, and the ability to store and search all DICOM dataset elements, the vendor said.
