File Formats: DICOM Format (DIC)

Note: This format is supported only in Document/Medical.

DICOM (DIC) files are commonly used in medical images. LEADTOOLS reads a broad range of DICOM formats, converting them to LEAD-supported bits-per-pixel as necessary. LEADTOOLS writes DICOM files in the LEAD-supported bits-per-pixel. DICOM files can contain many comment fields of various types. You can use the Leadtools.Codecs.RasterCodecs.ReadComment(System.IO.Stream,System.Int32,Leadtools.RasterCommentMetadataType) method to read comments in an existing file. Before writing a file and the Leadtools.Codecs.RasterCodecs.WriteComments(System.IO.Stream,System.Int32,Leadtools.RasterCollection{Leadtools.RasterCommentMetadata}) method to write comments to a file.

You can read DICOM files as follows:

You can write DICOM files as 8, 12, or 16-bit grayscale, 8-bit palettized color, or 24-bit RGB color (8 bits per plane).
