Individual skill
pydicom
Python library for working with DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) files. Use this skill when reading, writing, or modifying medical imaging data in DICOM format, extracting pixel data from medical images (CT, MRI, X-ray, ultrasound), anonymizing DICOM files, working with DICOM metadata and tags, converting DICOM images to other formats, handling compressed DICOM data, or processing medical imaging datasets. Applies to tasks involving medical image analysis, PACS systems, radiology workflows, and healthcare imaging applications.

# Pydicom
## Overview
Pydicom is a pure Python package for working with DICOM files, the standard format for medical imaging data. This skill provides guidance on reading, writing, and manipulating DICOM files, including working with pixel data, metadata, and various compression formats.
## Routing Boundary
Use this skill for DICOM files, tags, pixel data, anonymization, CT/MRI/PET/X-ray medical scans, PACS-oriented processing, and pydicom-specific coding. Generic PNG/JPEG image processing, OCR, screenshots, PubMed/literature search, ClinicalTrials.gov lookup, LaTeX/PDF builds, bioinformatics, chemistry, or generic Data Commons tasks are outside this skill.
## When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when working with:
- Medical imaging files (CT, MRI, X-ray, ultrasound, PET, etc.)
