Automate Medical Data Workflows with Python Library

Aspose.Medical for Python will be an open-source SDK tailored for healthcare systems. Handle DICOM images, HL7/CDA messages, and structured clinical data across imaging systems, EHRs, and research platforms.

Powering Healthcare Interoperability

Aspose.Medical for Python brings healthcare-specific data handling to your Python applications. It provides a unified API to read, validate, and transform common medical formats such as DICOM (for imaging), HL7 (for clinical messaging), and CDA (Clinical Document Architecture).

Designed with HIPAA-compliance, interoperability, and performance in mind, the SDK supports developers building imaging systems, patient management software, EHR integrations, and healthcare analytics platforms. From extracting diagnostic images to parsing patient data, Aspose.Medical helps automate secure medical data workflows.

The library is fully offline, cross-platform, and open-source—ensuring flexibility and privacy in sensitive clinical environments.

Medical Formats Supported

  • DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine):

    • Load, view, and extract metadata from DICOM files.
    • Convert DICOM to standard image formats (JPEG, PNG, BMP).
    • Access imaging data, modality tags, patient info, and diagnostic series.

  • HL7 v2.x Messages:

    • Parse, edit, and validate HL7 messages across segments like ADT, ORU, MDM, etc.
    • Extract structured fields (e.g., PID, OBX) and transform into readable formats.

  • CDA (Clinical Document Architecture):

    • Read and manipulate XML-based clinical documents.
    • Extract patient summaries, lab results, and doctor narratives.
    • Validate structure against healthcare schemas.

Use Cases Across the Medical Ecosystem

  • Healthcare Imaging Systems: Load and convert DICOM images for PACS, teleradiology, or analysis.
  • EHR & HIS Integrations: Parse HL7 feeds to sync patient data across hospital systems.
  • Clinical Research: Extract structured data from CDA files for research databases.
  • Digital Health Tools: Build secure, standards-compliant health apps with Python.
  • Automated Reporting: Generate summaries and structured outputs from medical inputs.

Advanced Capabilities for Health IT Developers

  • Multi-frame DICOM Support: Handle series, time sequences, and 3D scan slices.
  • Tag-Level DICOM Access: Extract or update specific tags like SOP Class UID, StudyInstanceUID, and PatientBirthDate.
  • HL7 Message Construction: Build HL7 messages programmatically with full segment control.
  • Validation Tools: Check document structure against HL7/CDA schemas and DICOM conformance.
  • De-identification APIs: Mask or anonymize sensitive fields for research and testing.

Security, Portability, and Open Innovation

Aspose.Medical for Python is built for secure environments. It performs all processing offline, making it suitable for HIPAA-compliant and privacy-sensitive healthcare systems.

As an open-source SDK, developers can adapt it to custom schemas, extend format support, or optimize performance for local deployments. It works on Windows, macOS, and Linux and can run inside medical devices, data gateways, or cloud-based health platforms.
