Interactions with Other Libraries
Highdicom is able to interact with other imaging and scientific python libraries. These integrations are intended to provide streamlined access to complementary functionality available in external ecosystems that would otherwise require custom user code.
Because these libraries are not required for all workflows, they are
treated as optional dependencies and are not installed as part of the
default highdicom installation. Functionality requiring an external
library becomes available when an appropriate version of the corresponding
package is installed alongside highdicom. The following sections describe
which libraries are currently supported and the additional features each
library enables.
