Overview¶
django_dicom is a reusable Django application
built to maintain a database of DICOM data. It was
created to support the pylabber project, but
does not depend on it. django_dicom creates models
that represent the various DICOM
entities: Image
, Series
,
Study
, and Patient
(see here
and here for more information)
and provides utility methods to import data and easily maintain the DICOM entities and their relationship.
Once data is imported, Django’s
ORM
provides us with powerful querying
abilities.
The purposed of this reusable Django application is to create a centralized solution for DICOM data management in the context of of academic research. It is being written as a local solution for Tel Aviv University’s neuroimaging lab.
