The best source of documentation remains the official DICOM standard. If you are only interested in parsing the binary structure from disk, then you only need to read PS 3.5 of the DICOM standard.

I would suggest you start with §7 The Data Set, then for conformance you may want to read the Part 10 about the file format.

If you are only interested in interpretation of the Pixel Data and related elements, I would starts with §8 Encoding of Pixel, Overlay and Waveform Data

  • I am trying to extract the pixel data from the file and then render it on a canvas. I am unable to figure out how each element of the DICOM file is structured. – chrisrhyno2003 Nov 20 '15 at 17:49
