DICOM Dumper is a simple utility for decoding and dumping the content of DICOM 3.0 files, both in "Part-10 compliant" and "raw" formats.

The DICOM Dumper provides the user with both a textual dump of the content of the DICOM file and a useful tree view allowing to recursively analyze the Data Elements composing the DICOM Data Set.

The DICOM Dumper supports all Transfer Syntaxes defined by the DICOM 3.0 standard; hence, it is able to decode the content of virtually any DICOM 3.0-compliant file.

The DICOM Dumper has been developed in Java, so it is compatible with every Operating System for which a Java Virtual Machine is available (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris, etc.).
