LEAD Technologies Enhances HTML5 Medical Viewer in LEADTOOLS 17.5

Online, September 25, 2012 (Newswire.com) - LEAD Technologies is pleased to announce the release of major enhancements to the HTML5 Zero Footprint Medical Viewer in LEADTOOLS Version 17.5. This free upgrade, available to registered v17.5 users and LEADTOOLS annual maintenance customers, includes a plethora of features that make LEADTOOLS the most sophisticated and fully-featured zero footprint medical viewer on the market.

Highlighting this update is the addition of multiple series and study level layouts which provide striking visuals, a more efficient workspace, and greater ease of use. Image processing, annotations, window leveling and more can be applied to individual images or a range of cells. The cross-compatibility of the viewer's annotations have also been improved by utilizing Softcopy Presentation State and Compound Graphic Objects when loading and saving the annotations. Support for additional image processing functions, drag and drop, waveform and cine were also added, resulting in is a simpler development cycle for LEADTOOLS customers and an improved overall experience for the end-user.

"LEADTOOLS has crushed the feature gap between desktop and mobile applications," says Moe Daher, Chairman and CEO of LEAD Technologies. "By using the most advanced HTML5 and JavaScript techniques, we have achieved a robust and feature packed solution for developing zero footprint DICOM viewer applications. This is an extremely exciting prospect for our customers. Several short months ago, few even dreamed about being able to do what our HTML5 DICOM Viewer can now provide for tablets, phones and desktops in a single application."

In addition to the new features for the HTML5 Medical Viewer, this update comes with several performance improvements to its PDF Readers and Writers and Microsoft Office formats. LEAD Technologies has accomplished much over the past year with 17.5 and now sets its gaze upon version 18 coming up on the horizon.
