Install
pip install dicomforge # zero dependencies
pip install "dicomforge[pixels]" # + numpy + pillow
pip install "dicomforge[all]" # everything
Zero core dependencies. Optional backends raise clear errors with exact install instructions — no silent import failures.
What it's not
Not a medical device. Not wire-compatible DIMSE. Not a pydicom replacement for edge-case VRs. The conformance docs are explicit about the boundaries.
v0.6.0, MIT licensed, 108 tests, stdlib only.
