If you don't want to use an existing library you have to implement it yourself. You have to read the DICOM file format specifications and implement reading and parsing of the files to extract the required information.

See DICOM - Wikipedia[^] and there the External Links section:
DICOM Homepage[^]

But because you are an beginner I suggest to have a look at the source code of some open source DICOM libraries which might be used as a starting point.

if we are using libraries how we can parse the dicom file..? can we use VTK and MFC for parsing dicom.

VTK is a library.
If you want to use it, read the documentation. Look for functions to read DICOM images like vtkDICOMImageReader.

Such libraries do the parsing and should be provide functions to retrieve the meta data stored in the file.
