VintaSoft DICOM .NET Plug-in: Overview
In This Topic
DICOM standard (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) is used for handling, storing, printing and transmitting medical images and information about a patient.
VintaSoft DICOM .NET Plug-in is the add-on for
VintaSoft Imaging .NET SDK, which allows to load and view DICOM images, edit DICOM metadata and annotate DICOM images. Also Plug-in supports DICOM MPR, i.e. allows to reconstruct images in orthogonal, oblique and curved planes from a stack of DICOM images.
Plug-in features
- The plug-in can be used for developing .NET 8, .NET 7 and .NET 6 applications (console, WPF, WinForms, ASP.NET Core, service, etc) for Windows
- The plug-in can be used for developing .NET 8, .NET 7 and .NET 6 applications (console, ASP.NET Core, service, etc) for Linux and macOS
- The plug-in can be used for developing .NET Framework 4.8, 4.7, 4.6, 4.5, 4.0 and 3.5 applications (console, WPF, WinForms, ASP.NET MVC, ASP.NET WebForms, service, etc) for Windows
