Overview

This skill from the NCI Imaging Data Commons team helps an agent locate and fetch openly available cancer scan collections, including CT, MR and PET scans and pathology slides, for research and AI training. It handles metadata queries, viewing and checking the license of each dataset, with no sign-in needed. The skill itself is MIT licensed, but each dataset has its own license, mostly CC BY with some non-commercial, and those terms must be followed.

  • Convert, read and de-identify DICOM and NIfTI medical imagesAn AWS Labs skill for working with medical image files. It gives an agent ready commands and Python for turning DICOM series into NIfTI with dcm2niix, reading headers and pixels with pydicom, stripping patient details and private tags, loading NIfTI volumes with nibabel and arranging data in the BIDS folder layout. It also covers batch work grouped by series and a decision guide for choosing a de-identification approach. Its de-identification code is a starting point: check the results against your compliance rules, including any text burned into the images, before sharing them.HealthcareDICOMHealthcare
  • De-identify clinical data with a local script before AI analysisThis skill from Aperivue's medical research collection guides a researcher through removing protected health information from CSV, TSV or Excel files before any AI-assisted analysis. The removal itself happens in a Python script on the researcher's computer that never goes online or calls a model, using patterns for 12 countries and an interactive review in the researcher's own terminal. The agent explains and checks the process but is told never to ask for raw patient data or to read the mapping file of original values. It covers assessment, scanning, review, de-identification and verification, with references for the HIPAA Safe Harbor list and date shifting. Never paste or upload raw patient data to the agent, and check the output before sharing it, since a pattern-based tool can miss identifiers.HealthcareHealthcare dataPrivacy
  • Explain a diagnosis or scan result to a patient without frightening themThis skill helps a clinician explain a condition or a scan report to a patient in plain words that ease fear rather than add to it. It translates alarming terms such as 'wear and tear' into what they mean and how common they are in people without symptoms, and it states openly what is uncertain. It also covers what the patient can do, which signs should prompt a review, and questions to check the message landed. It is a communication aid; the clinical content stays the clinician's, and it is not medical advice.HealthcareHealthcare
  • Abstract clinical notes into cited data fieldsThis skill extracts the fields you define from clinical notes and ties each value to the exact text it came from. Missing values stay empty instead of being guessed. Output can feed chart abstraction, a patient registry, or a research cohort, and it can be exported as FHIR.HealthcareClinical NotesData Extraction
  • Check a manuscript against reporting guidelinesThis skill audits a medical or scientific manuscript one item at a time against a published reporting checklist or a risk-of-bias tool. It covers 49 instruments, including CONSORT, STROBE, STARD, PRISMA, TRIPOD+AI and QUADAS, picks the right one from the study type or asks when unsure, and marks every item as present, partial or missing with where it was found. It adds cross-checks such as registration timing and PRISMA flow-diagram arithmetic, and it can tell when an older checklist no longer matches the current draft. It is part of a set of medical-research skills built by a physician-researcher.HealthcareMedical researchManuscript review
  • Pull clinical records out of HL7v2 and FHIR using PythonAWS's ehr-data-parsing skill gives Python code for pulling clinical data out of two healthcare formats, HL7v2 and FHIR R4. It covers patients' details, lab results, diagnoses and medicines, converting HL7v2 batches into CSV or pandas tables and flattening FHIR bundles. It also includes data quality checks and a conceptual mapping from HL7v2 to FHIR, using the python-hl7 and fhir.resources libraries. HL7v3, CDA, FHIR servers and SMART on FHIR sign-in are out of scope. Use synthetic or de-identified data when you try it.HealthcareAWSHealthcare
