pydicom.config.DS_numpy(use_numpy: bool = True) → None[source]¶

Set whether multi-valued elements with VR of DS will be numpy arrays

Added in version 2.0.

Parameters:

use_numpy (bool, optional) –

True (default) to read multi-value DS elements as ndarray, False to read multi-valued DS data elements as type MultiValue

Note: once a value has been accessed, changing this setting will no longer change its type
