The ImageGear.Formats.DICOM namespace provides features that are used with medical and DICOM images. DICOM is a public standard created to provide a flexible and expandable means for storing, sharing, and transporting digital medical images. Today DICOM is the standard for medical imaging throughout the world.
The ImageGear.Formats.DICOM namespace is a full-featured ImageGear component. It supports the DICOM format, contains a custom API, and includes expanded image processing capabilities beyond those of the baseline ImageGear library. The ImageGear.Formats.DICOM namespace belongs to the ImageGear21.Formats.Dicom.dll assembly.
The format support of the MD component includes loading and saving monochrome, palettized, and true color medical images using the following file formats:
- DICOM 3.0 Part 10-compliant images
- DICOM 3.0 Raw Format (non-Part 10-compliant)
The ImageGear.Formats.DICOM namespace provides DICOM Presentation State objects that allow you to display images on various devices and media, to store specific settings for display (contrast transformations, geometric transformations), and to store ART annotations and to display multi-frame images.
In addition, your application will continue to support all ImageGear-supported file formats, allowing you to convert an image of a different format to a medical image format, and vice-versa.
