Cover Story: This paper reports patient data collection and processing (PDCP), a set of tools created using python for extracting, transforming, and loading RT data from Orthanc PACs. PDCP enables querying, retrieving, and validating patient imaging summaries; analyzing associations between patient DICOM data; retrieving patient imaging data into a local directory; preparing the records for use in various research questions; tracking the patient’s data collection process and identifying reasons behind excluding patient data. PDCP targeted simplifying the data preparation process in such applications, and it was made expandable to facilitate additional data preparation tasks. View this paper
