DicomObjects is a toolkit which can make it easy for you to incorporate DICOM into your programs. It is available as either a an "OCX" for use in an ActiveX/COM environment, or as a native .NET DLL.

DicomObjects is designed to make DICOM development very simple, hiding most of the complexities within the toolkit, giving you a simple high-level API which can be used for just about any DICOM application, whether that is a simple viewer, an associated application such as a worklist server, or a full-scale PACS. All have been accomplished many times with DicomObjects, and examples for these, and many more applications are included in the free download.

The support staff at Medical Connections are used to helping those "new" to DICOM, and we pride ourselves on getting new developers introduced to the subtleties of DICOM.
Capabilities

DicomObjects can be used with a variety of development tools, such as Visual Studio, Delphi, Access, or even VBScript within a web page.

Virtually any type of application concerned with medical imaging can easily be written using DicomObjects, but here are some suggestions:

• Viewing applications
• Teleradiology
• Secondary capture stations
• Image archiving and storage
• Web-based image retrieval
• Quality assurance
• Ad-hoc customised interfaces

• "On-the-fly" data manipulation and correction
• Intelligent Image routing
