Extract DICOM header info -- part of the pf* family.

Project description

https://badge.fury.io/py/pfdicom_tagExtract.svg https://travis-ci.org/FNNDSC/pfdicom_tagExtract.svg?branch=master https://img.shields.io/badge/python-3.5%2B-blue.svg

Quick Overview

  • pfdicom_tagExtract generates reports in various formats (txt, html, etc) based on DICOM tags information.

Overview

pfdicom_tagExtract extracts the header information of DICOM files and echoes to stdout as well as to an output report-type file – this can be a raw output, a json-type output, or html-type output.

The script accepts an <inputDir>, and then from this point a recursive os.walk() is performed to probe all subdirs containing files to process. Each subdir is examined for DICOM files (in the simplest sense by a file extension mapping) and either the head, tail, middle (or other indexed) file is examined for its tag information.

Optionally, the tag list can be constrained either by passing a <tagFile> containing a line-by-line list of tags to query, or by passing a comma separated list of tags directly.

Finally, an image conversion can also be performed (and embedded within the output html file, if an html conversion is specified).

Installation

Dependencies

The following dependencies are installed on your host system/python3 virtual env (they will also be automatically installed if pulled from pypi):

  • pfmisc (various misc modules and classes for the pf* family of objects)

  • pftree (create a dictionary representation of a filesystem hierarchy)

  • pfdicom (handle underlying DICOM file reading)

  • matplotlib (handle saving / conversion to image formats for html reports)

Using PyPI

The best method of installing this script and all of its dependencies is by fetching it from PyPI

pip3 install pfdicom_tagExtract

Command line arguments

-I|--inputDir <inputDir>
Input DICOM directory to examine. By default, the first file in this
directory is examined for its tag information. There is an implicit
assumption that each <inputDir> contains a single DICOM series.

-i|--inputFile <inputFile>
An optional <inputFile> specified relative to the <inputDir>. If
specified, then do not perform a directory walk, but convert only
this file.

-e|--extension <DICOMextension>
An optional extension to filter the DICOM files of interest from the
<inputDir>.

[-O|--outputDir <outputDir>]
The directory to contain all output files.

[--outputLeafDir <outputLeafDirFormat>]
If specified, will apply the <outputLeafDirFormat> to the output
directories containing data. This is useful to blanket describe
final output directories with some descriptive text, such as
'anon' or 'preview'.

This is a formatting spec, so

    --outputLeafDir 'preview-%s'

where %s is the original leaf directory node, will prefix each
final directory containing output with the text 'preview-' which
can be useful in describing some features of the output set.

-F|--tagFile <tagFile>
Read the tags, one-per-line in <tagFile>, and print the
corresponding tag information in the DICOM <inputFile>.

-T|--tagList <tagList>
Read the list of comma-separated tags in <tagList>, and print the
corresponding tag information parsed from the DICOM <inputFile>.

-m|--image <[<index>:]imageFile>
If specified, also convert the <inputFile> to <imageFile>. If the
name is preceded by an index and colon, then convert this indexed
file in the particular <inputDir>.

[-s|--imageScale <factor:interpolation>]
If an image conversion is specified, this flag will scale the image
by <factor> and use an interpolation <order>. This is useful in
increasing the size of images for the html output.

Note that certain interpolation choices can result in a significant
slowdown!

    interpolation order:

    'none', 'nearest', 'bilinear', 'bicubic', 'spline16',
    'spline36', 'hanning', 'hamming', 'hermite', 'kaiser', 'quadric',
    'catrom', 'gaussian', 'bessel', 'mitchell', 'sinc', 'lanczos'

-o|--outputFileStem <outputFileStem>
The output file stem to store data. This should *not* have a file
extension, or rather, any "." in the name are considered part of
the stem and are *not* considered extensions.

[-t|--outputFileType <outputFileType>]
A comma specified list of output types. These can be:

    o <type>    <ext>       <desc>
    o raw       -raw.txt    the raw internal dcm structure to string
    o json      .json       a json representation
    o html      .html       an html representation with optional image
    o dict      -dict.txt   a python dictionary
    o col       -col.txt    a two-column text representation (tab sep)
    o csv       .csv        a csv representation

Note that if not specified, a default type of 'raw' is assigned.

[-p|--printToScreen]
If specified, will print tags to screen.

[-x|--man]
Show full help.

[-y|--synopsis]
Show brief help.

[--version]
If specified, print the version number and exit.

[--json]
If specified, output a JSON dump of final return.

-v|--verbosity <level>
Set the app verbosity level.

    0: No internal output;
    1: Run start / stop output notification;
    2: As with level '1' but with simpleProgress bar in 'pftree';
    3: As with level '2' but with list of input dirs/files in 'pftree';
    5: As with level '3' but with explicit file logging for
            - read
            - analyze
            - write

Examples

Run on a target tree and output some detail and stats

pfdicom_tagExtract                                      \
            -I /var/www/html/normsmall -e dcm           \
            -O /var/www/html/tag                        \
            -o '%_md5|6_PatientID-%PatientAge'          \
            -m 'm:%_nospc|-_ProtocolName.jpg'           \
            -s 3:none                                   \
            --useIndexhtml                              \
            -t raw,json,html,dict,col,csv               \
            --threads 0 -v 0 --json

which will output only at script conclusion and will log a JSON formatted string.
