NAME

       gdcm2pnm - .SH "SYNOPSIS"

       gdcmdiff [options] file-in bitmap-out

DESCRIPTION

       The gdcm2pnm command line program takes as input a DICOM file and produces a rendered bitmap file.

PARAMETERS

       file-in	 DICOM input filename

       bitmap-out  Bitmap output filename

options
   options
   general options
	 -h   --help
		print this help text and exit

	 -v   --version
		print version information and exit

	 -V   --verbose
		verbose mode (warning+error).

	 -W   --warning
		warning mode, print warning information

	 -E   --error
		error mode, print error information

	 -D   --debug
		debug mode, print debug information

Simple usage
       gdcm2pnm will take as input DICOM and render it into a bitmap file using the window/level attributes value.

       $ gdcm2pnm input.dcm output.png

       It is much different from the gdcmraw or gdcmimg command line tool as it will render a DICOM image. This means that the output will be
       rendered in 8bits ready for display.

NAME

       gdcmscanner - Scan a directory containing DICOM files.

SYNOPSIS

       gdcmscanner [options] directory

DESCRIPTION

       The gdcmscanner is a command line tool to quickly extract value from a set of DICOM attribute in a DICOM File-Set.

   PARAMETERS
	 -d --dir	DICOM directory
	 -t --tag %d,%d DICOM tag(s) to look for

   options
	 -p --print	 Print output.
	 -r --recursive  Recusively descend directory.

   general options
	 -h   --help
		print this help text and exit

	 -v   --version
		print version information and exit

	 -V   --verbose
		verbose mode (warning+error).

	 -W   --warning
		warning mode, print warning information

	 -E   --error
		error mode, print error information

	 -D   --debug
		debug mode, print debug information

Typical usage
Simple usage
       In order to display all the value for Patient Name (0010,0010) in the directory name gdcmData, simply do:

       $ gdcmscanner -t 10,10 -d gdcmData -p

Complex usage
       Because gdcmscanner does not support progress, you have to wait until all files are traversed to see any results. This is quite cumbersome,
       on UNIX this can be worked around with the following trick:

       $ find gdcmData -type d -exec gdcmscanner -t 10,10 -d {} -p ;

       So all directory are locally traversed (no child directory are recursively traversed), which means results comes out much faster.
