[Ctk-developers] ctkDICOMBrowser - access to database from python?

[Alireza Mehrtash]

Hi Nicole,

You can access the Slicer DICOM database by slicer.dicomDatabase and add
new DICOM series to the current database as we've done in tciabrowser [1].
If you want to create a new database you can do the same as [2].

Hth,
Alireza
