This is collaborative project mantained by Fellow Oak Dicom and Efferent Health, LLC. The codecs in this repository are written in pure C/C++ code and wrapped with C# and netstandard2.0. The supported platforms so far are:
| OS | x64 | Arm64 | Tested with |
|---|---|---|---|
| Windows | ✅ | Windows 10/11 | |
| Linux | ✅ | ✅ | Ubuntu 18/20/22 |
| MacOS | ✅ | ✅ | Ventura/Sonoma |
The following CODECS are implemented:
| Transfer Syntax UID | Description |

| 1.2.840.10008.1.2.5 | RLE Lossless |
| 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.50 | JPEG Baseline (Process 1): Default Transfer Syntax for Lossy JPEG 8 Bit Image Compression |
| 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.51 | JPEG Extended (Process 2 & 4): Default Transfer Syntax for Lossy JPEG 12 Bit Image Compression (Process 4 only) |
| 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.57 | JPEG Lossless, Non-Hierarchical (Process 14) |
| 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.70 | JPEG Lossless, Non-Hierarchical, First-Order Prediction (Process 14 [Selection Value 1]): Default Transfer Syntax for Lossless JPEG Image Compression |

| 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.81 | JPEG-LS Lossy (Near-Lossless) Image Compression |
| 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.90 | JPEG 2000 Image Compression (Lossless Only) |
| 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.91 | JPEG 2000 Image Compression |
| 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.201 | High-Throughput JPEG 2000 Image Compression (Lossless Only) |
| 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.202 | High-Throughput JPEG 2000 with RPCL Options Image Compression (Lossless Only) |
| 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.203 | High-Throughput JPEG 2000 Image Compression |
The HT-JPEG2000 family of codecs is only supported since fo-dicom version 5.1.3
- 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());
- 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();
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
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.
