DICOM utility

Used for header-only preflight of one DICOM series folder before conversion or inference. Not for de-identification or clinical clearance.

[Skill on GitHub](https://github.com/NVIDIA-Medtech/medical-AI-skills/tree/dev/skills/dicom-series-preflight) [Agent Skills spec](https://agentskills.io)

### Run it with an agent

Install the skill, then just ask your agent in plain language. `medagent.dicom_series_preflight`

install skill Copy

```bash
npx skills add NVIDIA-Medtech/medical-AI-skills --skill dicom-series-preflight
```

Try saying

“I have a DICOM series at fixtures/flipped\_lr — I plan to run nv\_segment\_ct on it next. Should I? Use dicom-series-preflight to check first.”

“Check the DICOM series in fixtures/clean\_no\_phi for any issues before I run downstream segmentation.”

“Quick check on the DICOM series in fixtures/clean\_axial — is it shareable?”
