Individual skill
pydicom
Reads, inspects, writes, and transforms local DICOM files with pydicom 3.x (dcmread, dcmwrite, pydicom.pixels), including metadata, transfer syntaxes, compressed pixel data plugins, frame decoding, private elements, DICOM JSON, and bounded pseudonymization review using bundled helper scripts. Use when extracting aggregate metadata from DICOM datasets without printing PHI, checking which transfer syntaxes and codec plugins a deployment needs, planning frame or memory limits before decoding pixel data, rendering one non-diagnostic frame, compressing or decompressing pixel data, or building and auditing a pseudonymized derivative. Not for diagnostic viewing, or for claiming DICOM PS3.15, HIPAA, or GDPR compliance.

# pydicom
Use pydicom for DICOM dataset I/O and pixel processing. Version 3.0.2 is the
current stable release reviewed here. It fixes CVE-2026-32711, a crafted
DICOMDIR path-traversal issue. pydicom 3.0.2 declares Python `>=3.10`; its
bundled DICOM dictionary is 2024c, while the live DICOM Standard may be newer.
## Mandatory safety boundary
- Work only with local data that the user is authorized to access.
- DICOM metadata, file names, private elements, overlays, structured content,
and pixels may contain protected health information (PHI).
- Never print `Dataset`, export full metadata/JSON, or log element values by
default. Use a documented allowlist and aggregate output.
