gdcmscanner - Scan a directory containing DICOM files.
gdcmscanner [options] directory
The gdcmscanner is a command line tool to quickly extract value from a set of DICOM attribute in a DICOM File-Set.
-d --dir DICOM directory
-t --tag %d,%d DICOM tag(s) to look for
-k --keyword %s DICOM keyword(s) to look for
-P --private-tag %d,%d,%s DICOM private tag(s) to look for
-p --print Print output.
-r --recursive Recursively descend directory.
--strict Use strict parser (faster but less tolerant with bogus DICOM files).
--table Use Table output.
-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
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
For private tag simply do:
$ gdcmscanner -P "0029,60,SIEMENS MEDCOM HEADER2" -d gdcmData -p
In order to display as CSV (see dicom3tools/dctable) all the values for SOP Instance / Study Instance / Series Instance UID(s) in the directory name gdcmData, simply do:
$ gdcmscanner -k SOPInstanceUID -k StudyInstanceUID -k SeriesInstanceUID -d gdcmData -p --table
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.
