pydicom

What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies the complex task of working with DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) files, enabling efficient reading, writing, and manipulation of medical imaging data.

Core Features & Use Cases

• DICOM File Handling: Read, write, and modify DICOM files with ease.
• Pixel Data Extraction: Extract and process image data from CT, MRI, X-ray, and other medical scans.
• Metadata Management: Access, modify, and anonymize DICOM metadata and tags.
• Use Case: A researcher needs to extract all patient names and study dates from a large dataset of DICOM files for a study. This Skill can automate that process, ensuring patient privacy by anonymizing the data.

Quick Start

Use the pydicom skill to read the DICOM file located at '/path/to/your/dicom_image.dcm' and print the patient's name.
