Extension Description

This extension contains the DICOM for Quantitative Imaging (dcmqi) library that provides tools and API for conversions of the quantitative image analysis results (segmentations, measurements, parametric maps) into DICOM format and back.

Tutorials

Usage overview and documentation for the dcmqi library are available at https://github.com/QIICR/dcmqi#introduction

Panels and their use

The dcmqi extension doesn't provide a GUI, it's intended to be used at the library level by other modules.
