Fellow Oak DICOM (fo-dicom) is a C#/.NET library implementing the DICOM standard for medical imaging, including parsing, image codecs, anonymization, and DICOM network services. It targets .NET Standard 2.0 and .NET 8-10, with optional imaging packages for System.Drawing, ImageSharp, and SkiaSharp rendering.

Use cases

• parse and read DICOM files in a .NET application
• render DICOM images to bitmaps in C#
• anonymize medical imaging data
• build a DICOM client or server (C-STORE, C-FIND) in .NET
• convert DICOM datasets to JSON or XML
• compress or decompress DICOM images with JPEG/JPEG-LS/JPEG2000 codecs
• handle very large DICOM datasets with on-demand loading

When to choose

• you need DICOM support in any .NET or .NET Standard compatible project
• you need cross-platform medical imaging parsing and rendering
• you want an actively maintained, well-documented DICOM toolkit for C#

When to avoid

• you work outside the .NET ecosystem
• you need a full PACS application rather than a library
• you require runtimes older than .NET Standard 2.0 without using the legacy 4.x version
