Example

using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Dicom;

   //Make sure to initialize the DICOM engine, this needs to be done only once  
   //In the whole application

      // We can also initialize in here the "Grayscale Softcopy Presentation State" class 
      dicomDataset.Initialize(DicomClassType.Undefined, DicomDataSetInitializeType.ExplicitVRLittleEndian); 
 
      //We can remove individual layers by calling RemoveLayerByIndex and RemoveLayerByName 
      dicomDataset.RemoveAllLayers(true); 
 
      DicomGraphicLayer graphicLayer = new DicomGraphicLayer();
