0.9.3#

Major changes#

  • changed to MIT-style license

  • option to defer reading of large data element values using read_file()’s new defer_size argument (r102, r103)

  • dictionary of private tags added – descriptive text shown when available (issue36, r97, r110)

  • more conversion to PEP-8 style. Should now use read_file(), save_as(), pixel_array rather than !ReadFile(), !SaveAs(), !PixelArray. Old names kept for now as aliases.

Other Enhancements#

  • added DicomFileLike class to simplify and generalize access. Any object that has read, write, seek, tell, and close can now be used. (r105)

  • added dataset.iterall() function to iterate through all items (including inside sequences) (r105)

  • added dataset.formatted_lines() generator to allow custom formatting (r91, r113)

  • made reading tolerant of truncated files – gives a warning, but returns dataset read to that point (r95)

Bug Fixes#

  • fixed issue38, name collision for ‘Other Patient Ids’ as both data element and sequence name in DICOM standard (r95, r96)

  • fixed issue40, blank VRs in some DICOM dictionary entries caused NotImplementError on reading (r100)

  • fixed issue41, reading VRs of ‘US or SS’ and similar split on backslash character (r104)

  • fixed bug where TransferSyntaxUID not present when reading file without DICOM header (r109)

  • fixed print recursion bug when printing a UID (r111)

Other#

  • many of the example files updated

  • updated anonymize example file to also deal with ‘OtherPatientIDs’ and ‘PatientsBirthDate’ (r98)
