Pure Python DICOM for medical imaging (CT, MRI, X-ray, ultrasound). Read/write DICOM, pixels as NumPy, edit tags, windowing (VOI LUT), PHI anonymization, build DICOM, series→3D volumes. Use histolab for WSI pathology; nibabel for NIfTI.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Pydicom Medical Imaging

## Overview

Pydicom is a pure Python library for reading, writing, and modifying DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) files. It provides access to DICOM metadata tags and pixel data as NumPy arrays, supporting CT, MRI, X-ray, ultrasound, and other medical imaging modalities. The library handles compressed and uncompressed transfer syntaxes with optional codec plugins.

## When to Use

- Reading DICOM files and extracting metadata (patient info, study parameters, imaging settings)
- Extracting pixel data from DICOM images for analysis or visualization
- Converting DICOM images to standard formats (PNG, JPEG, TIFF)
- Anonymizing DICOM files by removing Protected Health Information (PHI)
- Modifying DICOM metadata tags for relabeling or correction
- Creating DICOM files from scratch (e.g., wrapping NumPy arrays as DICOM)
- Processing CT/MRI series into 3D volumetric arrays for reconstruction
- Extracting frames from multi-frame DICOM (cine/video)
- For whole-slide pathology images (SVS, NDPI), use `histolab-wsi-processing` instead
- For NIfTI neuroimaging volumes (.nii/.nii.gz), use `nibabel` instead

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jaechang-hits/sciagent-skills/pydicom-medical-imaging@sha256:496d578185e80cc4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260528.a140b59, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
