A high-performance, native Go library for parsing, reading, and writing DICOM medical image files, with channel-based streaming of frames as they are parsed. It also ships a CLI tool (dicomutil) that dumps DICOM metadata and exports images as PNG or JPEG.

Use cases

• parse dicom medical image files in go
• extract frames from multi-frame dicom files
• convert dicom images to png or jpeg
• read dicom metadata and elements into
• stream dicom frames as they are parsed
• write dicom datasets back to dcm files
• inspect dicom files from the command line

When to choose

• you need a pure-Go DICOM parser with no external dependencies
• you want high-performance or streaming access to DICOM frames
• you need both a library API and a CLI for DICOM inspection
• you want to serialize DICOM datasets to JSON

When to avoid

• you need automatic color rescaling or advanced image processing
• you need a full PACS server or DICOM networking (DIMSE) implementation
• you work primarily in Python or another non-Go ecosystem
