The Common Toolkit also strives to solve interoperability issues between different toolkits at various levels.

See our integration levels table to get an overview how CTK may be used to ease the integration of third-party functionalities as well as your own.

Currently, CTK offers five levels of interoperability / integration:

• DICOM Application Hosting (Part 19)

  Implements DICOM Part 19 specifications (work in progress)

• Command Line Interface

  Allows the integration of command line programs and a limited form of communication

• Event Bus

  A OSGi EventAdmin implementation using the CTK Plugin Framework

• Service Oriented Architectures

  Create modular components with a service oriented approach using the CTK Plugin Framework

• Classic C++

  Use the libraries provided by CTK by directly linking to it.
