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:

• Windows 64-bit (tested with Windows 10)
• Linux 64-bit (tested with Ubuntu 16/18/20 Desktop and Server)
• MacOS 64-bit Intel and Apple architectures (tested with Ventura)

The following CODECS are implemented:

• JPEG 2000 Image Compression (Lossless Only)
• JPEG 2000 Image Compression
• JPEG Baseline (Process 1): Default Transfer Syntax for Lossy JPEG 8 Bit Image Compression
• JPEG Extended (Process 2 & 4): Default Transfer Syntax for Lossy JPEG 12 Bit Image Compression - (Process 4 only)
• JPEG Lossless, Non-Hierarchical (Process 14)
• JPEG Lossless, Non-Hierarchical, First-Order Prediction (Process 14 [Selection Value 1]): Default Transfer Syntax for Lossless JPEG Image Compression
• JPEG-LS Lossless Image Compression
• JPEG-LS Lossy (Near-Lossless) Image Compression
• RLE Lossless

• Add the standard fo-dicom nuget packages to your project (tested with 4.0.8 and 5.0.3)

• 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 4.0.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 5.0.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();
