  • Automatic generation and sending of audit records

Other features

  • Tested by Medical Connections at the 2010 European Connectathon, passing all profiles attempted, and it has since been used by several other vendors, all of whom have 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 is the same as DicomObjects, with free development use and charges due only when systems are deployed to end-users. Discounts apply where DicomObjects and XdsObjects are deployed together.
