Leadtools.Dicom.Annotations.Core Introduction

Note: Leadtools.Dicom.Annotations.Core supports the annotation format used in the v19 and later LEADTOOLS toolkits.

To support the legacy annotation format used prior to version v19, use Leadtools.Dicom.Annotations.

LEADTOOLS DICOM Annotations Core provides two different means for reading and writing LEADTOOLS annotations in a DICOM dataset:

1. In Part 3 of the DICOM Specification, the description for the “Graphic Annotation Module” describes how Annotations are to be stored in a DICOM Presentation State. The “Graphic Annotation Module” includes Text Objects, Graphic Objects, and Compound Graphics. LEADTOOLS has full support for converting between the LEADTOOLS Annotations and the DICOM Graphic Annotation Module in a DICOM Presentation State (i.e. DICOM Annotations).
2. Alternatively, there is support for reading and writing LEADTOOLS Annotations in the LEAD Native format as a private element in a DICOM dataset.
