DICOM metadata export #62

Open vogelchen opened 8 years ago

vogelchen commented 8 years ago

Dear developers and programming gurus.

I am wondering if it is possible to export some metadata from a bigger group of CT exams. I am not aware of any plugin nor terminal commands to do this job. Because the group contains more than 100 exams it's better to automate the process. The best option would be to be exported as a csv file.

I have found one paper describing such features in a DicomBrowser software. I was not successful in exporting the metadata this way. I don't know any programming language and this could be the reason. If it's possible to build a plugin for Horos it would be great. I believe this could be helpful for many researchers dealing not only with CT.

Thank you for your responses.

My goto applications for problems of the sort are the DCMTK command line tools, the GDCM command line tools or David Clunie's dicom3tools (http://www.dclunie.com/dicom3tools.html)

Thank you for the link and provided info. Please, where could I find some basic instructions/commands for these tools?

Thank you.

For DCMDTK: http://dicom.offis.de/dcmtk.php.en

and you would probably want to use dcmdump http://support.dcmtk.org/docs/dcmdump.html
