Installation
Pre-build package available at PyPi:
pip install highdicom
The library relies on the underlying pydicom package for decoding of pixel
data, which internally delegates the task to either the pillow or the
pylibjpeg packages. Since pillow is a dependency of highdicom and
will automatically be installed, some transfer syntax can thus be readily
decoded and encoded (baseline JPEG, JPEG-2000, JPEG-LS). Support for additional
transfer syntaxes (e.g., lossless JPEG) requires installation of the
pylibjpeg package as well as the pylibjpeg-libjpeg and
pylibjpeg-openjpeg packages. Since pylibjpeg-libjpeg is licensed under
a copyleft GPL v3 license, it is not installed by default when you install
highdicom. To install the pylibjpeg packages along with highdicom, use
pip install highdicom[libjpeg]
Install directly from source code (available on Github):
git clone https://github.com/imagingdatacommons/highdicom ~/highdicom
pip install ~/highdicom
