AccuSoft ImageTransport MD

• Full support of the DICOM Standard
• A Proven Solution
• Increase customer satisfaction

• Provide better customer solutions
• Realize greater flexibility
• Complete Control  

Guarantee DICOM conformance of your application. The DICOM Standard is a large and complex specification at a various layers for applications, communications, and protocols. Our DICOM toolkit lets you create worry-free DICOM-compliant medical applications.

To maximize your opportunity, it is critical to ensure your solution's compatibility and conformance at all of these layers. ImageTransport MD completely automates the lower layers of the DICOM Standard, allowing developers to concentrate on the top layer - the application behavior layer - and enabling them to obtain the features required for their medical informatics applications, thus facilitating timely development.

ImageTransport MD provides a comprehensive DICOM toolkit for creating healthcare informatics applications that interface with devices and storage systems for CT, MRI, nuclear medicine, X-ray, ultrasound, film scanners, etc. It supports all of the services defined in the DICOM Standard, including:

• Image transfer over networks
• Creation of DICOM-compliant file sets
• DICOM image printing
• Medical information management

Proven Solution

ImageTransport MD is currently being used at hundreds of sites around the world, and has been tested against every major vendor in all modalities.  The toolkit has been a part of every RSNA-HIMSS IHE* initiative.  Applications written with the toolkit have passed all the stringent DICOM compliance tests mandated by IHE.

Increase Customer Satisfaction

AccuSoft tests the image-handling routines against some of the most troubling non-standard variations of known image formats to ensure that your customers are far less likely to encounter problems. Our unified API for handling all image formats requires less coding, and that means you can produce robust IT systems for healthcare, faster and easier than ever before.

Easily Customize Solutions

ImageTransport MD toolkit includes 13 groups of SOP classes.  For deployment, you are free to offer any/all of these classes so you can easily customize your healthcare informatics applications to best meet the dynamic and unique requirements of any given project.

Realize Greater Flexibility

• Unrestricted control of configuration information
• A flexible interface for getting/setting values data element
• Multi-value data elements
• Unlimited nesting of sequence item data elements
• Highly adaptable error-logging framework
• Expandable and up-to-date data dictionary includes the popular private tags of many of the major vendors

Complete Control Over DICOM Communications

Application developers can now rapidly prototype and test solutions from Visual C++, Delphi, Visual Basic, etc. Images acquired through the API can be processed with ImageGear MD. ImageTransport MD takes care of the finer details of DICOM network implementation, such as:

• Automatic association negotiation, data element ordering and response to C-ECHO requests
• Easy debugging - function names with full-error/warning/info logging, no hex codes required
• Fault-tolerant message state machine and full Part 8 compliance
• Extensive data validation across DIMSE commands, data elements, and sequences
• Instant detection of critical errors, regardless of the timeouts
• Object-oriented C++ based core engine yields compact architecture and encapsulated polymorphic objects to help reduce coding errors
• Powerful and robust, ImageTransport MD provides comprehensive support for DICOM communications, including all Transfer Syntaxes, all standard DIMSE-C and DIMSE-N messages, and the DICOMDIR.
   

 * "Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise" ((IHE), is a multi-year initiative, sponsored by the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) and the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS).  The goal is to bring together medical equipment and information products from different manufacturers for the single purpose of developing an efficient and seamless workflow between multiple products from multiple vendors, thus improving the clinical and economic efficiencies of connectivity throughout the healthcare enterprise.
