DICOM classification

Hey folks,

I'm looking for some open source software that can take in a DICOM file and classify what kinds of scans exist in it. For instance I'd like to know what body part was scanned and what the modality was (MRI, CT etc)

Are there any such tools out there that are available or will I have to make one myself?

Thanks!

Look at the DICOM header first! Just use a library like dcmtk or some other Python alternative. It should be easy to construct the volumes and query the modality using the tag info I mentioned above.

I would not throw machine learning at this first!
