Usage

With fo-dicom 4.x

• Add the nuget package to your .NET Standard or .NET Core project (minimum version is 2.0)
• Add the standard fo-dicom nuget packages to your project (version 4.x)
• At the beginning of your application, replace the transcoder manager, as:

  Dicom.Imaging.Codec.TranscoderManager.SetImplementation(new Dicom.Imaging.NativeCodec.NativeTranscoderManager());
  

With fo-dicom 5.x

• Add the nuget package to your .NET Standard or .NET project (minimum version is .NET 5.0)
• Add the standard fo-dicom nuget packages to your project (version 5.x)
• At the beginning of your application, replace the transcoder manager, as:

  new DicomSetupBuilder()
    .RegisterServices(s => s.AddFellowOakDicom().AddTranscoderManager<FellowOakDicom.Imaging.NativeCodec.NativeTranscoderManager>())
    .SkipValidation()
    .Build();
  

Dependencies

Windows

It is required to have Visual C++ Redistributable v14 installed in the target Windows machine. Otherwise, it will throw a runtime error:

Unable to load DLL 'Dicom.Native': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)

The installer can be downloaded directly from https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe

Linux

The native library has been built on an Ubuntu 20.04 environment using GNU C Compiler version 9.4.x.

Therefore, it requires a GLIBC library runtime version 2.27 and GLIBCXX version 3.4. Otherwise, it can throw a runtime error like:

Unhandled Exception: System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load shared library 'Dicom.Native.so' or one of its dependencies.
