In oro.dicom: Rigorous - DICOM Input / Output

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) References See Also Examples

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

1 2	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`	Ignored.
`...`	Arguments to be passed to `readDICOMFile`.

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).
