This utility facilitates annotating DICOM files with labeled markers, which are exported to a JSON file.

This package has one non-conda dependency, pydicom, which can be installed with:

pip install pydicom

Installation of the package and the rest of its dependencies can be performed using the conda build recipe found in the recipe subdirectory.

(in the git working directory)

• conda build recipe
• conda install --use-local clinicalgraphics

The program can be started by running run.py, or alternatively with the following python code:

• from clinicalgraphics import run
• run(r'dicom/file/path')

This will open an editor, displaying the DICOM image and associated annotations, if any are present. If the file path argument is none, a file dialog is presented to select a valid DICOM file.

The editor supports adding two types of regions of interest; point markers and rectangles. They can be added by selecting the corresponding tool from the toolbar, and dragging/clicking the image. Annotations can be selected, so that they can be deleted (button), moved (dragging) or relabelled (double-clicking). By clicking the save button, all annotations are stored in a simple JSON fileformat. Unless otherwise specified, the annotations are stored as the filename of the input image, with its extension replaced by .json.
