🎀 SCANCOTODICOM(1) 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to section 1 of the User Commands — this is scancotodicom, and it's literally the vtk-dicom CLI. let's get into it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

scancotodicom — vtk-dicom CLI 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

💖 usage:

scancotodicom -o directory file.isq [sample.dcm ...]

💜 options:

  • -o directory — The output directory. this is where all your lil DICOM babies go 🍼
  • -s, --silent — Do not print anything while executing. it's giving quiet luxury, not a peep 👑
  • -v, --verbose — Verbose error reporting. when stuff goes wrong it spills all the tea ☕
  • --series-description — Textual description of the series. a lil name tag for your series 🏷️
  • --series-number — The series number to use. pick your number, own it ✨
  • --uid-prefix — A DICOM uid prefix (optional). optional, so no pressure bestie 🫶
  • --version — Print the version and exit. it says hi and dips immediately 😭
  • --help — Documentation for scancotodicom. your girl when you're lost fr fr 🧚

This program will convert a uCT file into a DICOM series. no cap, that's the whole job 🔥

It reads the uCT file header and generates a series of DICOM files. and here's the part you actually need to remember, bestie — if you are converting multiple files that belong to the same study, then after converting the first file, you should supply on the command line all of the DICOM files produced from that file. the way that works is it lets the converter keep all the study information consistent between all files that belong to the same study. consistency is the vibe check and this passes it 💯

⭐ so like: first file → convert it → then feed all the DICOM files that came out of it back in on the command line. that's the trick, iykyk.
