simple-dicom-sort 0.0.3

Dicom sort utility

python-dicom-sort

Script to sort DICOM files according to their tags. With a CLI and a GUI.

Installation

Install it using pip:

pip install -e .

If you want to ensure the availability of the GUI, this will also install the optional PySide2 dependency:

pip install -e .[GUI]

Usage

Call dicom_sort (or python dicom_sort) without arguments to open the GUI (if PySide2 is available).

Otherwise you can use it as a command line tool with the following syntax:

usage: dicom_sort [-h] [--copy] src dest pattern

Move DICOM files into a directory structure

positional arguments:
  src         Origin directory with unsorted files
  dest        Destination directory with sorted files
  pattern     Directory pattern (example: %PatientName%/%StudyDate%/%SeriesNumber%_%SeriesName%)

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
  --copy, -c  Copy files instead of moving

The program will move (or copy) the dicom files from the src folder to the dest folder, creating an appropriate directory structure as specified by pattern. The dicom files themselves will be renamed into imageXXXX.dcm where XXXX is replaced by the instance number.
