When recursively load images like
dicomImage=new DicomImage(df.dataset) it throws an error "DICOM dataset is missing pixel data element"

Have you verified that the DICOM file in question contains pixel data?

Thanks Anders. The file in question didn't have valid pixel data. Null check fixed the problem.

"dicomImage=new DicomImage(df.dataset) it throws an error DICOM dataset is missing pixel data element."

I am able to open the same images in Different toolkit. But in fo-dicom it always gives me Pixel Data element as null.

Again, which fo-dicom version are you using? 

We have identified a number of cases where DICOM files were incompletely parsed, and we have fixes for all the identified cases in the latest fo-dicom pre-release 2.0.0-beta2.

If you are still using fo-dicom version 1.x, try out the pre-release to see if you have better success with that version. And remember to read the Breaking Change section here before you start using the new version.

If 2.0 does not solve your problems, please create a new issue in the Github repository (here) and add an anonymized copy of the problematic file. (Note that Github only allows uploading files with image extensions, so change the file name extension to something like .png or .jpg before you upload.)

Regards,
Anders @ Cureos
