About
The Pydicom skill empowers Claude to handle the complexities of the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standard, the global format for healthcare imaging. It provides comprehensive guidance for reading, writing, and modifying medical files from modalities such as MRI, CT, and X-ray. Users can extract pixel data into NumPy arrays for scientific analysis, perform PHI anonymization to ensure research compliance, manage metadata tags, and convert DICOM datasets into standard web-friendly image formats. This skill is essential for developers and researchers building medical AI models, PACS integrations, or automated radiology workflows.
