pynetdicom

pynetdicom is a pure Python package that implements the DICOM networking protocol. Working with pydicom, it allows the easy creation of DICOM Application Entities (AEs), which can then act as Service Class Users (SCUs) and Service Class Providers (SCPs) by associating with other AEs and using or providing the services available to the association.
