Synopsis

Keywords: Software Tools, Data ProcessingDICOM is the universally recognized standard for medical imaging, but reading and writing from DICOM databases remains a challenging task for most data scientists. The dbdicom package was developed to provide an intuitive programming interface for reading and writing data from entire DICOM databases, and replaces confusing DICOM-native concepts by language and notations that will be more familiar to data scientists working in python. The package is available under an open license but is in the early stages of development and currently rolled out in 3 multi-vendor, multi-center studies.
