DCTOPGX(1)						DICOM PS3 - DICOM image to PGX file						DCTOPGX(1)

NAME

       dctopgx - ACR/NEMA DICOM PS3 ... DICOM PS3 - DICOM image to PGX file

SYNOPSIS

       dctopgx [ -v|verbose ] [ -quiet|silent ]

DESCRIPTION

       dctopgx	reads the named dicom or acr-nema input file and copies the raw image pixel data to a PGX file as used for the JPEG 2000 Verifica-
       tion Model.

       A PGX file contains of a single text header line of the form "PG <byte order> [+|-]<bit-depth> <cols> <rows> immediately by the raw  binary
       data.  There  may  be 1, 2 or 4 bytes per sample corresponding to bit depths from 1 to 32.  Byte order is "LM" (little endian) or "ML" (big
       endian). The signed or unsigned pixel representation is indicated by '+' or '-' character before the bit depth.	If  the  '+'  is  omitted,
       unsigned is implied.

       The input file must be unencapsulated.

       PGX  supports  big or little endian byte order in the case of > 8 bit data. The output byte order is always in the same as the input, since
       the raw bytes are copied from input to output without any conversion. Use dccp(1) first to change the encoding if necessary.

       PGX also supports signed data, so the Pixel Representation of the input is used to specify whether the output is signed or unsigned.

OPTIONS

       The PGX output goes where it is specified or standard out.  The verbose output goes to standard error.

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

       -quiet|silent
	      Suppress the normal description of image parameters.

       -verbose
	      Display byte offset from file start and message start, in hexadecimal, and dump contents while reading, once read,  during  replace-
	      ment, and before writing.

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
