DicomKit.Imaging

Decode and render DICOM images with DicomKit, in pure managed code on Windows, Linux and macOS (no native binaries).

  • Pixel data: native 1/8/16/32-bit, signed and unsigned, MONOCHROME1/2, RGB (planar 0 and 1), YBR_FULL, YBR_FULL_422, YBR_PARTIAL_422/420, PALETTE COLOR (8 and 16-bit tables), multi-frame and enhanced multi-frame.
  • Codecs: RLE Lossless, JPEG baseline and extended (8/12-bit), JPEG Lossless (process 14 and SV1), JPEG-LS (CharLS.Managed), JPEG 2000 (CoreJ2K). Plug in your own with DicomFrameDecoders.Register.
  • Display pipeline: Rescale Slope/Intercept or Modality LUT, window center/width (LINEAR, LINEAR_EXACT, SIGMOID), VOI LUT Sequence, MONOCHROME1 / Presentation LUT Shape inversion, automatic window when the dataset has none.
  • Export: PNG and baseline JPEG writers, thumbnails.

Getting started

using DicomKit.Imaging;

using var image = await DicomImage.OpenAsync("ct.dcm");
image.WindowCenter = 40;                                   // soft-tissue window, in HU
image.WindowWidth = 400;

await using (var png = File.Create("ct.png"))
    await image.RenderToPngAsync(png);

var thumb = await image.RenderThumbnailAsync(128);         // RgbaFrame, 128 px on the long side
File.WriteAllBytes("thumb.jpg", thumb.ToJpeg(85));

RgbaFrame frame = image.RenderFrame(0, new DicomRenderOptions { WindowCenter = 300, WindowWidth = 1500 });
