DCTABLE(1)					    DICOM PS3 - Make tables of attribute values 					DCTABLE(1)

NAME

       dctable - ACR/NEMA DICOM PS3 ... DICOM PS3 - Make tables of attribute values

SYNOPSIS

       dctable	"  inputfile1  [  inputfile2  ... ]" [ -ignorereaderrors ] [ -v|verbose ] [ -r|recurse ] [ -describe ] [ -nofilename ] [ -noembed-
		 dedquotes ] [ -key|k  elementname|(0xgggg,0xeeee) ] ...  [ -input-nometa ] [ -input-ts  uid ] [ -input-default ]  [  -input-byte-
		 order|-input-endian  big|little ] [ -input-vr	implicit|explicit ]

DESCRIPTION

       dctable	reads  the  named  dicom  input  files and creates a tab delimited table of the values of the selected attributes, with each value
       enclosed in double quotes.

       Binary attributes are written in hexadecimal with a preceding "0x". Numeric string attributes are written in decimal.

       The first column always contains the filenames.

       A header is a added only if the -describe option is specified.

       If a specified attribute is not present in a file, then it the corresponding entry in the table will be empty (i.e. two consecutive quotes"
       but this is not reported as an error.

OPTIONS

       The table of attribute values go to standard output, and the verbose output and errors go to standard error.

       The basic input switches are described in dcintro(1). Options specific to this program are:

       -describe
	      Add a first line of output that is a header describing the attributes in each column.

       -nofilename
	      Do not include the filename in the table.

       -noembeddedquotes
	      Remove  embedded	quotes	(") from within displayed values to allow them to be parsed consistenty later; also has the side effect of
	      displaying numeric binary values as decimal rather than hexadecimal.

       -k|key  elementname|(0xgggg,0xeeee)
	      Add a key to the list of attributes to be extracted. The attribute may  also  be	specified  as  a  hexadecimal  pair  of  the  form
	      (0xgggg,0xeeee), which also allows private attributes to be fetched.

       -r|recurse
	      If  any attribute is not found in the top level dataset, recurse through sequence attribute items until the first instance is found.
	      This is a depth-first traversal, i.e., all children of the first item of a sequence are searched before the sibling items.

       -ignorereaderrors
	      Attempt to extract key values even if errors encountered whilst parsing DICOM file.

EXAMPLES


       % dctable -k Rows -k Columns
	       -describe test.dc3
       "Filename"     "Rows"	"Columns"
       "test.dc3"     "0x0100"	"0x0100"

BUGS

       Attempts to extract sequences or OB,OW attributes may fail nastily.

       The order in which the attributes are extracted and written is not the same order as they are specified on the command line, and should not
       be depended on.

DCSORT(1)					      DICOM PS3 - Make sorted list of images						 DCSORT(1)

NAME

       dcsort - ACR/NEMA DICOM PS3 ... DICOM PS3 - Make sorted list of images

SYNOPSIS

       dcsort  "  inputfile1  [ inputfile2 ... ]" [ -v|verbose ] [ -vv|veryverbose ] [ -vvv|veryveryverbose ] [ -index ] [ -show ] [ -interval ] [
		 -tolerance mm ] [ -check ] [ -checkFoR ] [ -descending ] [ -sortby|k  attributename ]

DESCRIPTION

       dcsort reads the named dicom input files and sorts them by the specified sort key.

       The sort key should be a single valued numeric attribute, with the exception of ImageOrientationPatient and ImagePositionPatient which  are
       handled as special cases.

       There is no output by default unless the index or verbose options are specified.

OPTIONS

       The output and errors go to standard error.

       The basic input switches are described in dcintro(1). Options specific to this program are:

       -index
	      Creates a first column of output that is the index in the sort order, starting from 0, and a second column that is the filename.

       -show
	      Show the value of the sort key after the file name with the -index option

       -interval
	      Show the interval between values of the sort key, or an error if not equal

       -tolerance mm
	      The tolerance value in mm to use when comparing intervals between slices; defaults to +/- 0.01 mm if unspecified

       -check
	      Check that all the images are from the same series.

       -checkFoR
	      Check that all the images have the same Frame of Reference (UID).

       -descending
	      Sort in descending, rather than the default ascending, order.

       -sortby|k  attributename
	      Specify attributename as the sort key.

ENVIRONMENT


EXAMPLES


       % dcsort -index -sortby SliceLocation ./1/[0-9]*
       0    ./1/1
       1    ./1/2
