DCMVHIER(1)

NAME
dcmvhier.datedescnoid - ACR/NEMA DICOM PS3 ... DICOM PS3 - Move DICOM files into hierarchy

SYNOPSIS

dcmvhier.datedescnoid filename

DESCRIPTION

dcmvhier reads the named dicom or acr-nema input file and moves it into a directory hierarchy of the form "PatientName [PatientID]/StudyDate StudyTime/Series SeriesNumber [Series Description]/SOPInstanceUID.dcm", rooted at the current working directory. Any characters in the identifiers other than numbers, letters, underscore, hyphen and period are deleted before creating the path name. The files are moved, not copied, and renamed. If any of the necessary identifiers is missing the script aborts. If the directory hierarchy does not yet exist it is created, but if the image file name already exists in that directory, the script aborts (to avoid overwriting images not properly disamibiguated by the selected identifiers and characters).
