How to Dither DICOM Files Using Java
Efficiently optimizing images for web placement is crucial for ensuring a smooth user experience. One approach to such optimization involves reducing the image’s color palette, thereby decreasing its file size and improving page load times. However, to prevent the disruption of smooth color gradients and the emergence of sharp boundaries in monochromatic areas, it’s essential to employ the image-smoothing function, known as dithering. This technique allows you to introduce a controlled amount of "noise" to an image or photograph, which, in turn, has a positive effect by smoothing out transitions within the color field and enhancing the image’s overall visual appeal. In order to Dither DICOM files, we’ll use Aspose.Imaging for Java API which is a feature-rich, powerful and easy to use image manipulation and conversion API for Java platform. You can download its latest version directly from Maven and install it within your Maven-based project by adding the following configurations to the pom.xml.

Steps to Dither DICOM via Java
You need the aspose-imaging-version-jdk16.jar to try the following workflow in your own environment.
- load DICOM files with Image.Load method;
- dither image;
- save dithered image to disc in the supported by Aspose.Imaging format.
System Requirements
Aspose.Imaging for Java is supported on all major operating systems. Just make sure that you have the following prerequisites.
- JDK 1.6 or higher is installed.

About Aspose.Imaging for Java API
Aspose.Imaging API is an image processing solution to create, modify, draw or convert images (photos) within applications. It offers: cross-platform Image processing, including but not limited to conversions between various image formats (including uniform multi-page or multi-frame image processing), modifications such as drawing, working with graphic primitives, transformations (resize, crop, flip&rotate, binarization, grayscale, adjust), advanced image manipulation features (filtering, dithering, masking, deskewing), and memory optimization strategies. It’s a standalone library and does not depend on any software for image operations. One can easily add high-performance image conversion features with native APIs within projects. These are 100% private on-premise APIs and images are processed at your servers.Dither DICOM via Online App

DICOM What is DICOM File Format
DICOM is the acronym for Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine and pertains to the field of Medical Informatics. DICOM is the combination of file format definition and a network communications protocol. DICOM uses the .DCM extension. .DCM exist in two different formats i.e. format 1.x and format 2.x. DCM Format 1.x is further available in two versions normal and extended. DICOM is used for the integration of medical imaging devices like printers, servers, scanners etc from various vendors and also contains identification data of each patient for uniqueness. DICOM files can be shared between two parties if they are capable of receiving image data in DICOM format. The communication part of DICOM is application layer protocol and uses TCP/IP to communicate between entities. HTTP and HTTPS protocols are used for the web services of DICOM. Versions supported by web services are 1.0, 1.1, 2 or later.
