PhilipsParser ¶

Bases: VendorParser

Parser for Philips MRI DICOM files.

Extracts metadata from Philips-specific private tags including sequence parameters, ASL info, and diffusion data.

Notes

Philips stores extended metadata in private tags. Common groups: - 2001: Philips Imaging DD 001 (main parameters) - 2005: Philips MR Imaging DD 005 (extended parameters)

Philips ASL implementation varies significantly between product lines (e.g., 2D STAR vs 3D pCASL).

Examples:

>>> from osipy.common.io.vendors.philips import PhilipsParser

...     metadata = parser.extract_metadata(dcm)
