MedImgKit

A comprehensive toolkit for medical image processing, providing utilities for DICOM, NIfTI, and other medical image formats with seamless multi-format I/O operations.

Features

  • DICOM Support: Read, anonymize, and manipulate DICOM files
  • NIfTI Support: Work with neuroimaging data in NIfTI format
  • Multi-format I/O: Unified interface for reading various image formats
  • Anonymization: DICOM anonymization following DICOM standards
  • Coordinate Conversion: Convert between pixel and patient coordinates
  • Multi-frame Assembly: Combine multiple DICOM files into multi-frame volumes

Installation

From PyPI

pip install medimgkit

From Source

pip install git+https://github.com/SonanceAI/medimgkit

Quick Start

DICOM Operations

import medimgkit as mik
import pydicom

# Read and normalize DICOM image
ds = pydicom.dcmread('path/to/dicom.dcm')
image_array = mik.load_image_normalized(ds)

# Anonymize DICOM
anonymized_ds = mik.anonymize_dicom(ds)

# Convert pixel coordinates to patient coordinates
patient_coords = mik.pixel_to_patient(ds, pixel_x=100, pixel_y=150)

# Use a specific native axis or anatomical plane when working with reformatted slices
coronal_coords = mik.pixel_to_patient(ds, pixel_x=80, pixel_y=20, slice_index=120, axis_index='coronal')

NIfTI Operations

import nibabel as nib
import medimgkit as mik
from medimgkit.nifti_utils import read_nifti_slice

# Load NIfTI file
nifti_data = nib.load('path/to/image.nii.gz')

# Get a specific slice
slice_image = mik.get_slice(nifti_data, slice_index=50, slice_axis=2)

# Read a slice by anatomical plane while preserving native slice orientation
slice_image, nifti_img = read_nifti_slice(
	'path/to/image.nii.gz',
	slice_index=50,
	plane='coronal',
)

# Convert world coordinates to slice index
slice_idx, axis = mik.line_to_slice_index(nifti_data, point1, point2)

Multi-format Reading

import medimgkit as mik

# Read any supported format
image_array = mik.read_array_normalized('path/to/image.dcm')
image_array = mik.read_array_normalized('path/to/image.nii.gz')
image_array = mik.read_array_normalized('path/to/image.png')

API Reference

DICOM Utils (medimgkit.dicom_utils)

Core Functions

  • assemble_dicoms(files_path, return_as_IO=False): Combine multiple DICOMs into multi-frame
  • is_dicom(f): Check if file is a DICOM

Coordinate Conversion

  • pixel_to_patient(ds, pixel_x, pixel_y, slice_index=None, axis_index=None): Convert pixel to patient coordinates, optionally along a native axis or anatomical plane
  • get_image_position(ds, slice_index=None): Get image position in patient coordinates
