dbdicom is a Pythonic interface for reading and writing DICOM databases.
pip install dbdicom
For more detail, see the current dbdicom documentation.
The DICOM format is the universally recognised standard for medical imaging, but working with DICOM data remains a challenging task for data scientists.
dbdicom aims to provide an intuitive programming interface for reading and writing DICOM databases - replacing unfamiliar DICOM-native concepts by pythonic language and syntax.
dbdicom is developed in public and currently trialled in ongoing multi-centre clinical studies iBEAt and AFiRM. However, dbdicom is work in progress and not yet sufficiently stable for wider use. Current dissemination activities, such as on the ISMRM (Toronto 2023), are limited in scope and intended to get early feedback from the community.
