Data sources
DICOM-Atlas compiles tags from three categories of source.
1. Vendor conformance PDFs (PDF-verified)
Scraped under the scraper/
pipeline. Each entry carries a citation back to the originating
PDF (title, vendor, version, source URL).
| Vendor | Archive |
|---|---|
| Siemens (MR, CT, XR) | archive.org/details/dicom-conformance-siemens |
| GE HealthCare | archive.org/details/dicom-conformance-ge |
| Philips Healthcare | archive.org/details/dicom-conformance-philips |
| Canon Medical (incl. Toshiba) | archive.org/details/dicom-conformance-canon |
| Acuson / Siemens ultrasound | archive.org/details/dicom-conformance-siemens (Acuson product family) |
Provenance is preserved per-entry and surfaced in Tag::source().
2. PS3.6 public dictionary
The PS3.6 attribute list is parsed from the official DICOM
Standard JSON at dicomstandard.org, vendored under
data/standard/attributes.json. Refreshed manually when the
standard publishes a new edition; the version is recorded in the
CHANGELOG.
3. Community contributions (pydicom / GDCM)
Where a private tag has no vendor PDF, but is well-known from the
pydicom _private_dict.py
or the GDCM private dictionary,
the entry is included with source = "pydicom" or source = "gdcm". PDF-sourced entries take precedence on overlapping keys.
