Software Development based on DCMTK

The DCMTK software can be compiled under Windows and a wide range of Unix operating systems including Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, MacOS X and NetBSD. All necessary configuration scripts and project makefiles are supplied.

DCMTK - Source Code Repository

You have read access to the complete source code repository of the DCMTK. Alternatively, the whole repository is mirrored to GitHub.

The official source code repository is actually a mirror of a private internal one. We employ our nightly builds to ensure the official repository only gets updated if DCMTK compiles on all tested platforms and the automated tests complete without errors (exceptions are possible, e.g. when bugs in external libraries result in the tests failing).

DCMTK 3.7.0 - Source Code and Documentation (2025年12月15日)

DCMTK can be downloaded as a gzip compressed tar archive or as a ZIP archive. The contents of the two archives are identical.

The developer documentation can also be viewed online or downloaded separately.

DCMTK makes use of the following external libraries for zlib compression (Deflated Transfer Syntax), character set conversion, TIFF and PNG export, as well as XML document processing.

DCMTK 3.7.0 - Support Libraries for Windows

In this section we provide the external libraries that are used by DCMTK (libiconv, libicu, libpng, libxml2, libtiff, openssl, and zlib) for the current DCMTK release 3.7.0 in pre-compiled format for Windows. The archives contain include files as well as debug and release versions of the corresponding libraries.

All support libraries included are available either compiled with "Multithreaded" runtime options (/MT and /MTd) or with "Multithreaded DLL" runtime options (/MD and /MDd). Please specify the include paths in CMake accordingly.
