Please take a look at the DICOM Media Example in the Github repository, that should give you an idea of how DICOMDIR can be used with fo-dicom.

Thanks for your revert Anders.

I visited the blog. I'm getting Patient Info, study Info, series Info and image details. However I'm targeting to get numerous images out of image collection. As you know multiple as image which we're getting is collection of images. Please suggest

If I am not mistaken, the DICOMDIR data gives you the file IDs. By iterating over these file IDs and treating them as file paths you should be able to read each individual DICOM file using DicomFile.Open(string filename).

Within the Directory Record Sequence (0004,1220), search for items that contain the Referenced File ID (0004,1500) tag. The value of the Referenced File ID gives you the relative path to the associated DICOM file.
