is_dicom
(file_path)¶ Return
True
if the file at file_path is a DICOM file.This function is a pared down version of
read_preamble()
meant for a fast return. The file is read for a conformant preamble (‘DICM’), returningTrue
if so, andFalse
otherwise. This is a conservative approach.Parameters: file_path (str) – The path to the file. See also
