The dicom extension for DuckDB provides functionality to import medical imaging data (DICOM, Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine) directly into DuckDB. It uses the powerful DCMTK C++ library to read DICOM files and convert them into JSON format.

For full documentation and examples, see the project README.

Key functionality:

read_dicom() - Table function to import DICOM files directly into DuckDB, including support for local and remote files.
DICOM_TAG - Custom type to work with DICOM tags, including conversion to and from VARCHAR.
tag_group(), tag_element(), tag_name() - Scalar functions to work with DICOM tags.
dicom secret type - Store credentials to establish connection with remote DICOM modalities, such as PACS systems.
query_dicom() - Table function to retrieve DICOM datasets from a remote modality directly into DuckDB using C-FIND commands.
