DICOM Tags

I frequently want to extract a set of tags from multiple DICOM files so that I can analyse them

I came across Suyash Kumar's DICOM module, so I put this together...

$ dicom-tags --help
Walks a directory and prints the selected tags for each DICOM that is found

Usage:
  dicom-tags [folder tag-list] [flags]

Flags:
  -e, --exclusion strings   Exclude paths using glob
  -h, --help                help for dicom-tags
  -n, --numeric             Sort by the first tag numerically
  -s, --sort                Sort by the first tag

An example of pulling the image size and transfer syntax from a ZIP file in a folder called store and sorting them numerically

$ dicom-tags -n -e "**/*.json" store Rows Columns TransferSyntaxUID | head
Filename,Rows,Columns,TransferSyntaxUID
