Description

mri_parse_sdcmdir parses the Siemens DICOM files in a given directory, and prints out information about each file. the output is printed to stdout unless a file name is passed with the --o flag

the most useful information is that which cannot be easily obtained by probing a dicom file. this includes: the run number, number of frames in the run, number of slices in the run, and, for mosaics, the number of rows and cols in the volume

there are 14 columns in the output:

  1. File Number
  2. File Name
  3. Series Number
  4. Series Error Flag (1 for error)
  5. Image Number
  6. Mosaic Flag (1 for mosaics)
  7. Number of Rows in the Volume
  8. Number of Columns in the Volume
  9. Number of Slices in the Volume for the Series
  1. Number of Frames in the Series
