Product: PowerTools™


PowerTools™ is a software only collection of standalone Windows® applications designed for the diagnosis, testing and/or repair of DICOM® communications or for the viewing, repair, or creation of DICOM data sets and their contents. It is suitable for use by PACS administrators, integration engineers, system testers, software developers and others who have need of a broad range of DICOM related tools and utilities.

The standalone PowerTools programs operate as easy-to-use DICOM server (SCP) or client (SCU) applications for communication purposes, or operate as other types of applications capable of viewing, changing, creating, converting, or fixing a DICOM data set. Since they are provided as both GUI-based and command line-based applications, the PowerTools utilities may be used as independent applications or scripted into a variety of situations where their capabilities are needed.

These tools and utilities may be use to transmit, receive, or edit DICOM medical data. PowerTools is not intended for diagnostic review of images or other medical data. (Expected availability Q1 2010)
