You can also display a DICOMDIR file directly in the browser. Then click 'Open with' and choose an application. If you cannot open your DICOMDIR file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message ' How do you want to open this file?' or ' Windows cannot open this file' or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. You need a suitable software like DICOM from NEMA to open a DICOMDIR file. DicomObjects is a DICOM API / SDK Toolkit. The DicomDataSets.ReadDirectory method in DicomObjects can be used to read DICOMDIR files. A DICOM directory has a four-tier hierarchy (PATIENT –> STUDY –> SERIES –> IMAGE). The current version was developed by the DICOM Standards Committee. It was first developed by the joint efforts of the American College of Radiology (ACR) and the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA). DICOM is an international standard for storing, processing, printing, displaying, and transmitting medical images such as MRI and CT scans. DICOMDIR is a file that functions as a directory for Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) file sets. DICOMDIR files mostly belong to DICOM by NEMA.
