Read All DICOM Files in a Directory

Description

All DICOM files are imported and a text file summarizing their content recorded.

Usage

readDICOM(
  path,
  recursive = TRUE,
  exclude = NULL,
  verbose = FALSE,
  counter,
  ...
)

Arguments

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	Ignored.
...	Arguments to be passed to readDICOMFile.

Details

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.

img	All images associated with the DICOM directory(ies).
hdr	All header files associated with the DICOM directory(ies).
