Full disclosure: I am the CEO of Innolitics, a development firm that specializes in medical imaging applications.
The most authoritative source on DICOM is the free standard:
https://www.dicomstandard.org/current/ https://www.dicomstandard.org/current/
It is not particularly easy to read and thus not a great starting place.
The DICOM forum is a good place to ask questions:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/comp.protocols.dicom https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/comp.protocols.dicom
David Clunie, a very nice guy and the editor of the DICOM standard, is active on this forum. He also has is own website that has many other links:
https://www.dclunie.com https://www.dclunie.com
If you are interested in parsing or generating DICOM files, our DICOM standard browser is a great resource:
https://dicom.innolitics.com/ciods https://dicom.innolitics.com/ciods
I also wrote a very brief article about DICOM, which was meant to be the first in a series of articles, but alas I have been to busy to continue them:
https://innolitics.com/articles/dicom-i-facilitating-interoperability/ https://innolitics.com/articles/dicom-i-facilitating-interop...
Oh, and here is a pretty good blog about DICOM:

Checkout his "DICOM Tutorial" in the sidebar.
If you have any particular questions about DICOM, message me and I would be happy to try and answer them.
- kennethko 7y agoI've used the Innolitics standard browser in the past and can attest to this browser as a very helpful reference. Of the options available, this has been the most pleasant to work with while also linking to the spec. for that occasional deep dive.
- jdgiese 7y agoThank you for the kind words! We appreciate it, and it is nice to hear that people find it to be useful. We just added a new feature yesterday---it is a new tab that allows you to analyze a DICOM file within the browser, see the values it contains, and easily cross check the tags with the standard. Any feedback would be welcome. Here is a screenshot of the DICOM file analysis feature in action: https://innolitics.com/img/dicom-file-upload.png https://innolitics.com/img/dicom-file-upload.png Edit: make it clear the files are not uploaded to any server, but stay within the browser
