DICOM Atlas

An open registry of DICOM tags.

Public and private DICOM tags compiled from vendor conformance statements alongside DICOM PS3.6, pydicom, and GDCM. Shipped as a compact .dmap binary, a Rust crate (dicom-map), a C-ABI library, and a Python package (dicom-map).

Why another DICOM dictionary?

Most DICOM tools embed the public PS3.6 dictionary and stop there. Private creator blocks - the regions vendors use to ship proprietary metadata - are usually opaque. DICOM Atlas merges the public standard with private blocks scraped from published vendor conformance statements and community sources, then ships the result as a single small binary anyone can load.
