PYDICOM-SHOW(1)

✨ pydicom-show — the manual page, but make it cute ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to PYDICOM-SHOW(1), a User Commands girlie 💅. This is the page for pydicom-show, and here's the whole vibe: it displays all or part of a DICOM file which can create that file. That's the assignment. That's the whole assignment. 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

pydicom-show — display all or part of a DICOM file which can create that file 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

pydicom show [-h] [-x] [-t] [-q] filespec [outfile]

ngl the synopsis is doing the most in the least amount of words and I respect it so much 😭

---

👑 OPTIONS 👑

🌈 POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS 🌈

• filespec — the file specification, and it comes in this format: [pydicom::]filename[::element]. Let me break it down for you, bestie, because this is the part that eats:
  • If the pydicom:: prefix is there, then you use the pydicom test file with that name. Like, the test files are right there, no cap. ✨
  • If element is given, you use only that data element inside the file. Just the one. Cherry-picked. Iconic. 🍓

Examples, because examples are literally the love language of manpages:

path/to/your_file.dcm
your_file.dcm::StudyDate
pydicom::rtplan.dcm::BeamSequence[0]
yourplan.dcm::BeamSequence[0].BeamNumber

not the nested BeamSequence[0].BeamNumber going full main character 😭 she said I will drill all the way down and I will find what I'm looking for 💅

💖 OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS 💖

• -h, --help — show a help message and exit. The classic. The blueprint. When in doubt, ask for help, queen 🫶
• -x, --exclude-private — don't show private data elements. Keep your private business private, periodt 🙈
• -t, --top — only show top level. No digging, no rabbit holes, just the surface level and we move on 🌸
• -q, --quiet — only show basic information. Lowkey mode activated, minimal chatter, we're being mysterious today 💜
