ImageGear Medical

Users are empowered to create and view DICOM files and utilize robust annotation controls for overlay creation. It supports DICOM Cine loop, waveforms, and presentation state DICOM, offers options to easily control all facets of image display and printing, and uses grayscale LUT to enhance X-rays, scans, and more. It includes integrated pseudo-coloring which allows for mapping high level grayscale LUT to 24-bit RGB LUT for display on non-high gray displays.

ImageGear Medical supports over 100 medical image and document formats including raster and vector images, DICOM, JPEG, JPEG 2000, PDF, TIFF, HD Photo, Camera RAW, and more. Powerful control parameters allow you to control the creation of your file. Abstract the details of each DICOM file with an easy to use high-level API.

It easily works with a wide variety of supported file formats across many bit depths in your applications and creates batch conversion processes and eliminates compatibility issues before they arise. It converts an image from one format to another with ease and converts bitmap images to scalable, editable images in seconds.

ImageGear Medical supports Adobe® PDF v1.7 and PS v3, and offers industry-leading vector and 3D PDF/PS support. Users can read, write, display, and edit PDF content within DICOM files. It also offers comprehensive PDF API for native PDF annotations, searchable text, and more. Analyze for PDF/A and PDF/X compliance.

Raster Formats

• Easily converts to and from various raster image formats such as TIFF, JPEG, and PDF
• Quickly converts various images into one standard format for consistent viewing
• Build applications to convert to and from bitmap images with various bit depths, palettes, and compression and encoding options

Vector Formats

It includes enhanced reading, writing, and rendering of vector images and reads and writes DWG and DXF file formats for release version 16 of AutoCAD including AutoCAD 2006.

• Creates apps that render 3D wireframe objects
• Creates apps that render solid 3D objects with adjustable lighting for shading purposes
• Supports reading and writing SVG file format

Image

• Image maintenance, such as crop, resize, thumbnail creation, encryption, and decryption
• Image transformation such as rotate
• Advanced image processing methods such as adjust brightness and contrast and reduce or promote bit depth
• Advanced filtering including sharpen, smooth, and convolution
• Region of interest support permits specification of a shape, such as ellipse, polygon, freehand, or a 1-bit mask for identifying pixels to include/exclude from image processing algorithms

Color

• ICC color profile support allows for accurate color display
• Pantone channels support for true image representation
• Image analysis provides a histogram-generating function while another function provides a count of different colors in the specified rectangle of an image

TWAIN

Easily working with TWAIN v1.6, v1.7, v1.8, and v1.9, ImageGear programmatically controls the display of the TWAIN UI. It quickly defines the TWAIN transfer mode and easily interfaces with the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) for multi-page scanning capabilities. It includes high-level functions that provide quick implementation of superior TWAIN support without a steep learning curve.

• Controls all scanner capabilities within your program
• Interfaces with TWAIN data source listing
• Indicates the brightness and contrast during acquisition
• Defines the resolution for acquisition
• Offers a single call function to initiate the scanning process
• Uses events to control the scanning process

ISIS Scanning

ImageGear provides complete control over all high-speed ISIS®-driven scanners supported by EMC Corporation’s PixTools®. The product captures data from paper and electronic documents and delivers it into enterprise applications. In addition, it manages scanner features such as display, file writing, and printing.

Available for .NET / WinForms / ASP.NET / WPF, and Windows DLL (.NET and C and C++ editions), it offers easy to implement UI elements with XML-based annotation for images and medical data. Providing comprehensive annotation support including adding, editing, burning-In, and deleting.

ImageGear enables annotation on images and documents such as lines, arrows, highlighting, sticky notes, and much more. The feature provides the ability to annotate images and documents, including “sticky” note attachments, highlights, arrows, markers, free-form text, and other indicators. It also includes redaction capabilities for censoring sensitive documents. Annotations can be merged with an image or kept in a separate file and overlaid on the image at display time. In this way, the original image is never directly altered.

For developers building DLL applications, we offer support for 32-bit and 64-bit environments.

Supported 32-bit DLL Image Formats

The chart below lists the supported file formats in our DLL ImageGear SDKs with additional information such as read/write capabilities, bit depths, and multi-page ability.

If you are looking to work with a wide array of digital camera files, browse the list of supported digital camera raw formats for ImageGear Medical .NET.

This chart lists the Camera RAW file formats supported within ImageGear Medical .NET.

This list is not all-inclusive. It is a list of the makes and models of cameras known to be supported.

Please test your own images by evaluating the full-featured trial SDK.

Camera manufacturers do not publish specifications on their raw formats. ImageGear attempts to reconstruct color images correctly where it is possible. For some cameras, however, not all of the color balance data is available. The application may need to apply additional processing to such images. This table lists the level of support that ImageGear provides for particular cameras.
