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.

EXAMPLES

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