AccuSoft Ships ImageGear MD for .NET, First Native .NET Imaging SDK for Creating Medical Applications for the
Microsoft .NET Framework

New Product Combines Company’s Industry-Leading High-Performance Medical Toolkit with Pre-Coded Solutions for the
Microsoft .NET Framework

NORTHBOROUGH, Mass., — October 17, 2006 — AccuSoft® Corporation, a leading supplier of high-performance imaging SDKs, image processing, and data analysis software, announced today that it is shipping the industry’s first complete native .NET Imaging SDK for creating medical applications for the Microsoft .NET Framework. ImageGear® MD for .NET allows developers to combine the high performance of the Company’s medical toolkit with the pre-coded solutions of the .NET Framework to create medical imaging applications using 100% managed code.

ImageGear MD for .NET supports all of the features of the Company’s market-leading medical toolkit, ImageGear MD, while allowing developers to utilize the class libraries in the .NET Framework. These libraries cover a wide range of programming needs, including user interface, data access, cryptology, and much more. In addition, this toolkit -- as do all of AccuSoft’s SDKs -- supports the upcoming Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. As a result, developers can create their medical imaging applications with the security of knowing they will not need to be modified for the future Windows Vista releases.

Priced at $4,995 and available through AccuSoft, the development kit supports loading and saving monochrome, palletized, and true color medical images using the medical industry standard DICOM 3.0 file format for both Part 10-compliant images as well as raw format. Additional features include:

  • Rendering of 3D images either from a multi-page image or a set of 2D images as input
  • Ability to read waveform data from multiple modalities into vector representation
  • Support for Presentation State Objects to allow consistent display of images on various devices and media as well as storage of specific display settings
  • Storage of annotations and additional tags such as patient/study information
  • Complete API for data set creation and removal, including the modification, addition, and removal of data elements
  • Real-time contrast adjustment using Window level, rescale, and gamma correction transforms
  • Support for the International Color Consortium (ICC) color management specification for mapping RGB color spaces to CMYK
  • Rapid porting from current Windows forms applications to zero-footprint Web form applications
  • A complete set of annotation marks (text, line, polyline, ruler, etc.,) and the ability to import/export these marks to XML files

“As more and more enterprises embrace the Microsoft .NET Framework, the ISV community has responded, delivering thousands of diverse applications and technologies to the market that are tuned to reap the benefits of this platform for the future,” said Prashant Sridharan, group product manager of the Developer Division at Microsoft Corp. “AccuSoft’s ImageGear MD for .NET provides a powerful and time-saving solution for developers building the next generation of Web-based healthcare applications.”
