Since a Dicom Directory doesn't actually store the images in it (just a thumbnail if desired), you must parse the information in the Dicom Directory and load the actual files that the DICOMDIR points to. Each file should have an IMAGE key, and each IMAGE key will have a Referenced File ID (0004:1500) tag which tells you where to find the actual file relative to the location of the DICOMDIR.

Attached is a C# .NET example that shows how to parse the DICOMDIR and then load each referenced file into a new cell. This example also comes with a valid Dicom Directory created from Image1.dic, Image2.dic, and Image3.dic which ship with the SDK.

Updated to LEADTOOLS v19 with Visual Studio 2017. Also changed project to automatically select dll's for running in 32-bit and 64-bit.
Extract folder to "C:\LEADTOOLS 19\Examples\DotNet\CS\" to use the example.

Sample DICOMDIR included, copy/move sub-folder "CS_ParseDICOMDIR_input" to the "LEADTOOLS Images" folder ("C:\Users\Public\Documents\LEADTOOLS Images\") before running.
