Following on from the success of DicomObjects for DICOM, Medical Connections is pleased to announce XdsObjects, a toolkit to simplify the development of applications which conform to the IHE XDS profiles.

XdsObjects is available as a trial to any developers who wishes to evaluate it. It is currently supplied as a zip file, which includes the DLL, a help file (currently in .chm format), and simple examples to get you started. To obtain a copy, please visit the Download page. If you have any questions, or need any help, contact: support@medicalconnections.co.uk.

XdsObjects supports all the following profiles:

• Full support for all XDS.b transactions (as server and client)
• Provide and Register Document Set
• Register Document Set
• Registry Stored Query
• Retrieve Document Set
• XDS-I.b (as server and client)
• Retrieve Imaging Document Set
• XDR (as sender and recipient)
• XDM (as reader and writer)
• PIX (as client)
• Patient Cross-reference query
• ATNA (as client)
• Automatic generation and sending of audit records
• BSD Syslog, RFC 5425 & RFC 5426 supported
• TLS supported for all XDS transactions

Other features of XdsObjects:

• Tested by Medical Connections at the 2010 European connectathon, passing all profiles attempted - see Connectathon Results. In the 2012 Connectathons, XdsObjects was used by an independent vendors, who also passed.
• All data is packaged into/from simple, documented .NET classes, hiding the complexities of the ebXML model, such as classification schemes, slots and associations.
• The XDS-I transport facilities can be used with or without DicomObjects
• A viewer control is included, which allows simple viewing of most XDS content, including DICOM key object notes for use with XDS-I.
• The licensing model will be the same as DicomObjects, with free development use and charges due only when systems are deployed to end-users. Discounts will apply where DicomObjects and XdsObjects are deployed together.

Licensing on XdsObjects is on the same basis as DicomObjects - see the Licensing page for details.
