Design

DCMfx's design is centered on streaming of DICOM data, meaning all operations are performed in a streaming fashion wherever possible, enabling fast execution with extremely low memory usage regardless of DICOM or data set size.

Loading DICOM data sets completely into memory is also supported and can be simpler for tasks where resource constraints are not a concern.

Languages

DCMfx is dual-implemented in two languages: Gleam and Rust. See here for more details.
