DICOM

DICOM is the international standard for medical images and related information. It defines the formats and communication protocols for media exchange in radiology, cardiology, radiotherapy and other medical domains. If you’ve ever had an X-ray, an MR scan, an ultrasound or one of many other medical procedures, then the chances are that the DICOM standard was involved in some way.

pynetdicom

pynetdicom is a pure Python 2.7/3.4+ package that implements the DICOM networking protocol. Working with pydicom, it allows the easy creation of DICOM Application Entities (AEs), which can then act as Service Class Users (SCUs) and Service Class Providers (SCPs) by associating with other AEs and using or providing the services available to the association.
