Features

  • Targets .NET Standard 2.0
  • DICOM dictionary version 2023b
  • High-performance, fully asynchronous async/await API
  • JPEG (including lossless), JPEG-LS, JPEG2000, HTJPEG2000, and RLE image compression (via additional package)
  • Supports very large datasets with content loading on demand
  • Image rendering to System.Drawing.Bitmap or SixLabors.ImageSharp
  • JSON and XML export/import
  • Anonymization
  • DICOM services
  • Customize components via DI container

Supported Runtimes

Fellow Oak DICOM officially supports the following runtimes:

  • .NET Core 7.0
  • .NET Core 6.0
  • .NET Framework 4.6.2

Other runtimes that implement .NET Standard 2.0 may work, but be aware that our CI pipeline only tests these platforms (and only on Windows)

Installation

Easiest is to obtain fo-dicom binaries from NuGet. This package reference the core fo-dicom assemblies for all Microsoft and Xamarin platforms.

NuGet Packages

Valid for version 5.0.0 and later

Package Description
fo-dicom Core package containing parser, services and tools.
fo-dicom.Imaging.Desktop Library with referencte to System.Drawing, required for rendering into Bitmaps
fo-dicom.Imaging.ImageSharp Library with reference to ImageSharp, can be used for platform independent rendering
fo-dicom.Codecs Cross-platform Dicom codecs for fo-dicom, developed by Efferent Health (https://github.com/Efferent-Health/fo-dicom.Codecs)

Usage Notes

Image rendering configuration

Out-of-the-box, fo-dicom defaults to an internal class FellowOakDicom.Imaging.IImage-style image rendering. To switch to Desktop-style or ImageSharp-style image rendering, you first have to add the nuget package you desire and then call:

new DicomSetupBuilder()
    .RegisterServices(s => s.AddFellowOakDicom().AddImageManager<WinFormsImageManager>())
.Build();

or

new DicomSetupBuilder()
    .RegisterServices(s => s.AddFellowOakDicom().AddImageManager<ImageSharpImageManager>())
.Build();

Then when rendering you can cast the IImage to the type by

var image = new DicomImage("filename.dcm");
var bitmap = image.RenderImage().As<Bitmap>();

or

var image = new DicomImage("filename.dcm");
var sharpimage = image.RenderImage().AsSharpImage();

Logging configuration

Fellow Oak DICOM uses Microsoft.Extensions.Logging, so if you are already using that, Fellow Oak DICOM logging will show up automatically.

In the past, Fellow Oak DICOM had a custom abstraction for logging: ILogger and ILogManager. For backwards compatibility purposes, this is still supported but not recommended for new applications.

services.AddLogManager<MyLogManager>();

where MyLogManager looks like this:

using FellowOakDicom.Log;

public class MyLogManager: ILogManager {
    public ILogger GetLogger(string name) {
        ...
    }
}

Sample applications

There are a number of simple sample applications that use fo-dicom available in separate repository here. These also include the samples that were previously included in the Examples sub-folder of the VS solutions.

Examples

File Operations

var file = DicomFile.Open(@"test.dcm");             // Alt 1
var file = await DicomFile.OpenAsync(@"test.dcm");  // Alt 2

var patientid = file.Dataset.GetString(DicomTag.PatientID);

file.Dataset.AddOrUpdate(DicomTag.PatientName, "DOE^JOHN");

// creates a new instance of DicomFile
var newFile = file.Clone(DicomTransferSyntax.JPEGProcess14SV1);

file.Save(@"output.dcm");             // Alt 1
await file.SaveAsync(@"output.dcm");  // Alt 2

Render Image to JPEG

var image = new DicomImage(@"test.dcm");
image.RenderImage().AsBitmap().Save(@"test.jpg");                     // Windows Forms

C-Store SCU

var client = DicomClientFactory.Create("127.0.0.1", 12345, false, "SCU", "ANY-SCP");
await client.AddRequestAsync(new DicomCStoreRequest(@"test.dcm"));
await client.SendAsync();

C-Echo SCU/SCP

var server = new DicomServer<DicomCEchoProvider>(12345);

var client = DicomClientFactory.Create("127.0.0.1", 12345, false, "SCU", "ANY-SCP");
client.NegotiateAsyncOps();
// Optionally negotiate user identity
client.NegotiateUserIdentity(new DicomUserIdentityNegotiation
{
    UserIdentityType = DicomUserIdentityType.Jwt,
    PositiveResponseRequested = true,
    PrimaryField = "JWT_TOKEN"
});
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    await client.AddRequestAsync(new DicomCEchoRequest());
await client.SendAsync();

C-Find SCU

var cfind = DicomCFindRequest.CreateStudyQuery(patientId: "12345");
cfind.OnResponseReceived = (DicomCFindRequest rq, DicomCFindResponse rp) => {
	Console.WriteLine("Study UID: {0}", rp.Dataset.GetString(DicomTag.StudyInstanceUID));
};

var client = DicomClientFactory.Create("127.0.0.1", 11112, false, "SCU-AE", "SCP-AE");
await client.AddRequestAsync(cfind);
await client.SendAsync();

C-Move SCU

var cmove = new DicomCMoveRequest("DEST-AE", studyInstanceUid);

var client = DicomClientFactory.Create("127.0.0.1", 11112, false, "SCU-AE", "SCP-AE");
await client.AddRequestAsync(cmove);
await client.SendAsync(); 

N-Action SCU

// It is better to increase 'associationLingerTimeoutInMs' default is 50 ms, which may not be
// be sufficient
var dicomClient = DicomClientFactory.Create("127.0.0.1", 12345, false, "SCU-AE", "SCP-AE",
DicomClientDefaults.DefaultAssociationRequestTimeoutInMs, DicomClientDefaults.DefaultAssociationReleaseTimeoutInMs,5000);
var txnUid = DicomUIDGenerator.GenerateDerivedFromUUID().UID;
var nActionDicomDataSet = new DicomDataset
{
    { DicomTag.TransactionUID,  txnUid }
};
var dicomRefSopSequence = new DicomSequence(DicomTag.ReferencedSOPSequence);
var seqItem = new DicomDataset()
{
    { DicomTag.ReferencedSOPClassUID, "1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.1" },
    { DicomTag.ReferencedSOPInstanceUID, "1.3.46.670589.30.2273540226.4.54" }
};
dicomRefSopSequence.Items.Add(seqItem);
nActionDicomDataSet.Add(dicomRefSopSequence);
var nActionRequest = new DicomNActionRequest(DicomUID.StorageCommitmentPushModelSOPClass,
                DicomUID.StorageCommitmentPushModelSOPInstance, 1)
{
    Dataset = nActionDicomDataSet,
    OnResponseReceived = (DicomNActionRequest request, DicomNActionResponse response) => 
    {
        Console.WriteLine("NActionResponseHandler, response status:{0}", response.Status);
    },
};
await dicomClient.AddRequestAsync(nActionRequest);
dicomClient.OnNEventReportRequest = OnNEventReportRequest;
await dicomClient.SendAsync();

private static Task<DicomNEventReportResponse> OnNEventReportRequest(DicomNEventReportRequest request)
{
    var refSopSequence = request.Dataset.GetSequence(DicomTag.ReferencedSOPSequence);
    foreach(var item in refSopSequence.Items)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("SOP Class UID: {0}", item.GetString(DicomTag.ReferencedSOPClassUID));
        Console.WriteLine("SOP Instance UID: {0}", item.GetString(DicomTag.ReferencedSOPInstanceUID));
    }
    return Task.FromResult(new DicomNEventReportResponse(request, DicomStatus.Success));
}

C-ECHO with advanced DICOM client connection: manual control over TCP connection and DICOM association

var cancellationToken = CancellationToken.None;
// Alternatively, inject IDicomServerFactory via dependency injection instead of using this static method
using var server = DicomServerFactory.Create<DicomCEchoProvider>(12345); 

var connectionRequest = new AdvancedDicomClientConnectionRequest
{
    NetworkStreamCreationOptions = new NetworkStreamCreationOptions
    {
        Host = "127.0.0.1",
        Port = server.Port,
    }
};

// Alternatively, inject IAdvancedDicomClientConnectionFactory via dependency injection instead of using this static method
using var connection = await AdvancedDicomClientConnectionFactory.OpenConnectionAsync(connectionRequest, cancellationToken);

var associationRequest = new AdvancedDicomClientAssociationRequest
{
    CallingAE = "EchoSCU",
    CalledAE = "EchoSCP",
    // Optionally negotiate user identity
    UserIdentityNegotiation = new DicomUserIdentityNegotiation
    {
        UserIdentityType = DicomUserIdentityType.UsernameAndPasscode,
        PositiveResponseRequested = true,
        PrimaryField = "USERNAME",
        SecondaryField = "PASSCODE",
    }
};

var cEchoRequest = new DicomCEchoRequest();

using var association = await connection.OpenAssociationAsync(associationRequest, cancellationToken);
try

    DicomCEchoResponse cEchoResponse = await association.SendCEchoRequestAsync(cEchoRequest, cancellationToken).ConfigureAwait(false);
    
    Console.WriteLine(cEchoResponse.Status);

finally
{
    await association.ReleaseAsync(cancellationToken);
}
