Hi Guillaume and co,
I frequently work with WSIs scanned as DICOMs. This PR implements support for this format by wrapping a reader around wsidicom in a similar way to #150 which was written for SPDC.
One caveat is that DICOMs break away from the typical "monolithic" file format such as a
.tifor a.svsfile, instead opting for being contained in a folder with an arbitrary amount of.dcmfiles. This necessitates the existence of a small util function_is_dicom_folder. This doesn't fit the typical design pattern of checking the extension of a file to determine its file type, and I was unsure whether or not you'd like a bigillion_is_dicom_foldercalls incollect_valid_slidesfor batched processing. Let me know what you think.
