iptk/generator-dicom repository overview

⁠DICOM Metadata Generator

This metadata generator uses the IPTK web API to watch for new datasets through the /v3/logs/dataset_changes endpoint. If a previously unseen dataset id is detected, the generator looks for DICOM data within the dataset by searching for .dcm files. If a DICOM file is found, all well-known metadata is extracted with the help of pydicom⁠ and saved under metadata specification 32bdac29d951d9def51e3cee10c4f0e582f2a962.

⁠Usage

Either use the generator.py script directly, which requires Python 3.6 and the pydicom, redis and requests packages, or use the provided Docker image.

⁠Configuration

The API endpoint can be specified through the API_ENDPOINT environment variable. It must not contain the /v3/ version specification and may contain a username and password to make authenticated calls. A valid endpoint looks like this: http://user:[email protected]⁠. If you pass a Redis host in the REDIS_HOST environment variable, processed dataset ids will be remembered across restarts.
