Introduction
About
This is user guide for the dcmqi (DICOM for Quantitative Imaging) library.
With dcmqi you can:
Convert certain types of quantitative image analysis results into standardized DICOM form. This can help you with
sharing data in archives like TCIA​
interoperating with PACS and commercial tools
supporting data queries to both image data and analysis results
standardizing data semantics
making your data self-described and better prepared for new uses
Convert DICOM data into a commonly used research file formats like JSON and NIfTI.
Integrate DICOM concepts into your analysis workflows so that intermediate results are encoded in a standardized manner, making it easy to share your data.
