When using the LEADTOOLS DICOM .Net Class Library, the first step must be to call DicomEngine.Startup in order to initialize the data required by the library. This is usually done at the beginning of the application. When the library is no longer needed, DicomEngine.Shutdown must be called to release the data. This is usually done when the application needs to shutdown.
