Read All DICOM Files in a Directory
All DICOM files are imported and a text file summarizing their content recorded.
readDICOM(path, recursive = TRUE, exclude = NULL, verbose = FALSE, counter, ...)
path |
Path name to the DICOM directory. |
recursive |
Search recursively down from the given path name. |
exclude |
Exclude file names containing this character string. |
verbose |
Flag to provide text-based progress bar. |
counter |

... |
Arguments to be passed to |
A for loop is used to process each DICOM file contained in the
directory(ies). If only a single file is specified in the path,
readDICOM will read that file only.
A list structure with two major components:
img |
All images associated with the DICOM directory(ies). |
hdr |
All header files associated with the DICOM directory(ies). |
