Unofficial GDCM packages for Python 3 on Linux, Windows and MacOS (both Intel and Apple Silicon).
Grassroots DiCoM is a C++ library for DICOM medical files that can be wrapped for Python using SWIG. It supports datasets encoded using native, JPEG, JPEG 2000, JPEG-LS, RLE and deflated transfer syntaxes. It also comes with Parts 3, 6 & 7 of the DICOM Standard as XML files.
pip install -U python-gdcm
- Compiler for you platform (GCC, Clang, MSVC)
- CMake
- SWIG
- patchelf will also be needed on Linux
- Git to get the source code
If the cmake
or swig
executables aren't in $PATH
, either add them or create CMAKE_EXE
and SWIG_EXE
envars:
export CMAKE_EXE="path/to/cmake/executable"
export SWIG_EXE="path/to/swig/executable"
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/tfmoraes/python-gdcm
# Note the trailing slash!
pip install python-gdcm/
python -c "import gdcm; print(gdcm.GDCM_VERSION)"
If you get a ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_gdcm.gdcmswig'
error then make sure your current working directory doesn't contain a _gdcm
folder.
import gdcm
reader = gdcm.ImageReader()
reader.SetFileName("dicom_image_file.dcm")
ret = reader.Read()
if not ret:
print("It was not possible to read your DICOM file")
