Great work and useful library for DICOM parsing
From 4 comments
Congratulation. Great work. It is such an ancient but important standard. I just spent around one year writing Wolfpacs, a dicom load balancer in pure Erlang. (In my spare time).…
raphexion_ on HNGreat work! I've used dcm2niix[1] many times in the past to get around using DICOM directly, perhaps this will make it easier in future. [1] https://github.com/rordenlab/dcm2niix
FL33TW00D on HNThis is really good. I've been using pydicom (https://github.com/pydicom/pydicom) but it's always good to have variety in libraries and tools.
sleepy_keita on HNI wrote a DICOM parser in Go for the Kaggle competition in 2017, and it was such a pain. It probably only worked for that sample so I never released it but this looks great.…

Orthanc
From 1 comment
Nice! I'll take a look to it. Usually, for something like that, I would use Orthanc plus a bit of Python or Lua scafolding. What advantages does WolfPACS provides?
