# dicom.py - Access data in DICOM directories.

"""This module provides the :class:`.DicomImage` class, which represents a
volumetric DICOM data series. The ``DicomImage`` is simply an :class:`.`Image`
which provides accessors for additional DICOM meta data.

The following other functions are provided in this module, which are thin
wrappers around functionality provided by Chris Rorden's ``dcm2niix`` program:

.. autosummary::
   :nosignatures:

   enabled
   scanDir
   loadSeries

See: https://github.com/rordenlab/dcm2niix/

.. note:: These functions will not work if an executable called ``dcm2niix``
          cannot be found.
