SiemensParser

Bases: VendorParser

Parser for Siemens MRI DICOM files.

Extracts metadata from Siemens-specific private tags including CSA headers, sequence parameters, and diffusion information.

Notes

Siemens stores extended metadata in CSA headers within private tags. Common private groups: - 0019: Sequence parameters, diffusion info - 0021: Series and acquisition parameters - 0029: CSA headers (Series and Image) - 0051: Scanner-specific acquisition info

Examples:

>>> from osipy.common.io.vendors.siemens import SiemensParser
>>> parser = SiemensParser()
>>> if parser.can_parse(dcm):
...     metadata = parser.extract_metadata(dcm)
