dicomstack: A pydicom wrapper lib for 3D volumes, sorting and filtering

[py-baudin]

Hi everyone,

I've recently shared a simple wrapper for pydicom that allows more higher level operations with multiple frames, such as sorting, filtering and making 3D volumes.

It's not very efficient at the moment, but the interface is rather simple and it's been really helpful in the last few years.

Thanks for this reference @py-baudin. Looks very nice - I particularly like the flexible access, querying substacks, etc.

Can I suggest you update the title of this discussion to give some of the info in your post, e.g. working with frames, sorting, filtering. E.g. something like "dicomstack lib for 3D volumes, sorting, filtering" - it would perhaps make it easier for people to find.

Thanks! I just did that.

As I was mentionning, it's not super fast because it parses the whole pydicom elements and datasets before accessing any value.
I intend to change that by staying closer to pydicom internal objects, and parse only the accessed items on the fly.
