pydicom_compat

Adapter module for working with pydicom < 1.0 and >= 1.0

In what follows, “dicom is available” means we can import either a) dicom (pydicom < 1.0) or or b) pydicom (pydicom >= 1.0).

Regardless of whether dicom is available this module should be importable without error, and always defines:

• have_dicom : True if we can import pydicom or dicom;

• pydicom : pydicom module or dicom module or None if not importable;

• read_file : read_file function if pydicom or dicom module is importable else None;

• tag_for_keyword : tag_for_keyword function if pydicom or dicom module is importable else None;

A test decorator is available in nibabel.nicom.tests:

• dicom_test : test decorator that skips test if dicom not available.

A deprecated copy is available here for backward compatibility.
