Abstract
This paper describes the implementation of the toolkit software for the DICOM. the international standards of medical imaging. Well known toolkits do not have the functions related to imaging or ported to Windows OS after developed at UNIX OS or do not have mechanism for the speed and memory management or have complicated structure comes from DICOMI complexity. The toolkit introduced in this paper was designed for the hospital environments. It handles mass images at Windows based PC system. supports multi-threading to enhance the efficiency. supports every functions in Object Oriented Programming style needed at clinical application which makes the rapid development of the DICOM related applications. The results says that the toolkit can display 50 CT, 50 MR, 10 CR and 10 DX images in 12 seconds and occupy small quantity of physical memory at usual PC system.
