Use Imaging Tools to Give EMR Apps X-Ray Vision

As an electronic medical record (EMR) application developer, you face a number of complex issues, including interoperability, optimizing the user interface, maintaining data integrity, and ensuring data privacy and security.

Faithful display of images is one of the more complex requirements, even when diagnostic quality isn't required. There are many sizes, resolutions, bit depths, and file formats that may need to be supported. Software to compress, manipulate, and display medical images must be compatible, reliable, fast, and well supported.

Luckily, the ability to properly handle images in your application is one area where there's help. The manipulation of images is a specialized knowledge area that is extensive and costly to reproduce and usually best implemented through third-party software development toolkits (SDKs). Here are some of the benefits you can expect to gain by integrating imaging SDKs into your EMR applications:
