DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) is the standard among the digital
medical imaging system. DTK provides DICOM dataset functions, DICOM service class
functions, image functions and medical image specialized functions. In short, DTK is the
toolkit for medical image. DTK is designed to do best performances at Microsoft Windows OS
which is currently becoming major in hospital computer environment. DTK guarantees high
image display speed with small physical memory usage. DTK is designed as object oriented
structure for the simplification of DICOM complexity. DTK does not support every DICOM
standard function. It supports common functions needed at PACS and modality environment
