DICOM MCP Server enables AI assistants to query, read, and move medical imaging data on DICOM servers (PACS, VNA) with tools for metadata search, PDF report extraction, and image transfer capabilities.
Search for patients based on criteria like name, ID, or birth date.
Find studies using patient ID, date, modality, description, accession number, or Study UID.
Locate series within a specific study using modality, series number/description, or Series UID.
Find individual instances (images/objects) within a series using instance number or SOP Instance UID.
Retrieve a specific DICOM instance containing an encapsulated PDF and extract its text content.
Send a specific DICOM series to another configured DICOM node using C-MOVE.
Send an entire DICOM study to another configured DICOM node using C-MOVE.
Show the currently active DICOM node and list all configured nodes.
Change the active DICOM node for subsequent operations.
Test the DICOM network connection to the currently active node using C-ECHO.
List the available levels of detail (minimal, standard, extended) for metadata query results.
