PICTools was developed by Accusoft Pegasus' team of research scientists who specialize in imaging and compression technologies. Maximum code speed has been achieved through algorithm and machine code optimizations. PICTools has been optimized for several chip instruction sets, including Intel MMX, PIII, PIV, and IBM PowerPC.
PICTools technologies are supported across multiple environments, including 32-bit / 64-bit Windows, 32-bit / 64-bit Solaris SPARC, 32-bit / 64-bit Solaris x86, 32-bit / 64-bit Linux, IBM AIX, Mac OS X, BeOS, and QNX. Accusoft Pegasus optimizes PICTools technology for performance in specific environments through the use of assembly programming and processor-specific optimizations. The underlying architecture of PICTools allows desired imaging functionality to be efficiently ported to any requested operating system with a common interface and operating convention.

 PLEASE NOTE: Toolkits are sold separately for each operating system. For example, PICTools Medical for 32-bit Microsoft Windows is a separate download, and is separately priced, from PICTools Medical for 64-bit Microsoft Windows. The use of PICTools requires a licensing agreement with Accusoft Pegasus. This requires a discussion with an Accusoft Pegasus sales representative about your desired use of PICTools and the specific features for your application deployment. The PICTools toolkit remains in evaluation mode until the completion of an agreement with an Accusoft Pegasus sales representative.
