What is a DICOM MCP Server?

A DICOM MCP server is a tool that allows large language models (LLMs) to access and analyze medical imaging metadata. It connects to a DICOM server via standard DICOM network protocols and supports querying patient information, studies, sequences, and instances. Additionally, it can extract text content from encapsulated PDF files stored in DICOM format.

How to Use a DICOM MCP Server?

Users can specify DICOM nodes and AE titles through a configuration file and then run the server for query and retrieval operations. The server supports multiple query modes, including patient, study, sequence, and instance searches.

Applicable Scenarios

Suitable for researchers and doctors who need to access medical imaging data, as well as application developers who need to integrate medical imaging information.

Main Features

List DICOM NodesDisplay currently configured DICOM nodes and their AE titles.
Switch DICOM NodeSelect a different DICOM node for subsequent operations.
Verify ConnectionTest the connection status with the selected DICOM node.
Query Patient InformationSearch for patient records that meet the criteria based on conditions.
Query Study RecordsRetrieve relevant study records based on specific conditions.
Retrieve DICOM InstanceDownload and save the specified DICOM instance file.
Extract PDF Text from DICOMExtract text content from PDF files encapsulated in DICOM.

Advantages and Limitations

Advantages
Supports standard DICOM protocols, with strong compatibility.
Integrates PDF text extraction function for further analysis.
Easy to configure and expand, suitable for various application scenarios.
Limitations
Requires local installation of a Python environment and a DICOM server.
May require a certain learning cost for complex queries.

How to Use

Install Dependencies
Ensure that Python 3.12 or a higher version is installed, and install dicom-mcp via pip.
Create a Configuration File
Edit a YAML-formatted configuration file to define DICOM nodes and AE titles.
Start the Server
Start the DICOM MCP server using the command line.
