Tutorial: pyDICOS

pyDICOS is a Python library for working with DICOS (Digital Imaging and Communications for Security) data - a standard for security screening images. It provides tools to read, write, and process security imaging data like CT scans (3D baggage scans), DX (2D X-rays), and TDR (Threat Detection Reports). The library enables both file operations and real-time network transmission of security scan data, making it useful for developing advanced security screening applications and threat detection systems.

pydicos is a python wrapper over Stratovan’s C++ implementation and offer high level API. Original C++ API translation is accessible via the pyDICOS library.
