scrupt title: renameDicom() author: Piotr Faba description: Rename DICOM files based on their properties, the files ought to be in a subdirectory relative to the position of this script version: 2.9 date: 28/07/2016
Example use: RenameDicom('C:\Root\Directory\With\DICOM\files') Folder structure can be formed by adding addSubFolder functions()
Changes at version 2.9
- unified behaviour - no need renameChildFolders(); now all data is initially moved to the rootFolder and then the structure is built by adding addSubFolder() functions
- commenting is redone
Changes at version 2.8
- fixed issue of files over writing when processing multiple subjects; files are being renamed to unique SOPInstanceUID and renamed to requested name after creating subfolders
- ordering of files is fixed according to instance numbering in DICOM
Changes at version 2.7
- added function sanitizeString(); it is used on strings used for file names and folder names to remove illegal characters from them, that would cause error in file renaming or folder creation
Changes at version 2.6
- if renameChildFolders() is DICOM info for renaming folders then original name will be preserved
Changes at version 2.5:
- fixed major error that script was overwriting DICOM files in flattenFolderHierarchy()
Changes at version 2.4:
- a CoOccuranceMatrix was added to account for combination of differenceRules and commonRules, it allows to distinguish situations in which scans were restarted
Changes at version 2.3:
- changed the way script works. It operates by the script given as argument
- it allows to import full PACS folders with all the mess that they come with (the script recognises DICOM files) and deletes all the others!
- the script deals with missing DICOM tags, by substituting them with cumpolsory information (PatientName). The script notifies of this event by writing message to the console.
- multiple studies can be converted with this script fairly safely (no data should be overwritten or missing), though no guarantees
Changes at version 2.2:
- fixed error of removing visible directory when directory was missing '..' or '.' hidden directory
Changes at version 2.1:
- fixed minor spelling issues regarding "ReferringPhysicianName"
Changes at version 2.0:
- the script comletely rebuilt for full flexibility
- the number of subfolders is custom
- all the naming rules can be specified in the main function
- the mode system was abandoned as not useful
Changes at version 1.2:
- added mode=3, for Ola
- mode=3 adds session folder to mode1 structure
- mode=3 addes check for the same sessions
- BUG!! mode=3 puts into one folder studies with the same name
Changes at version 1.1:
- added flattening of folder hierarchy
- added renaming of parent fodlers
- added mode (mode= 0 - flat structure, mode = 1 - subfolder structure, mode = 2 - scanner like)
