+ | ====== renamedicom (function reference) ====== | ||
+ | This function works in scripted mode, but also has its own UI window | ||
+ | ===== Scripting ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== UI-based ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Required steps ==== | ||
+ | To open the UI of renamedicom, simply call the function without any arguments: | ||
+ | |||
+ | <code matlab>renamedicom</code> | ||
+ | |||
+ | This opens the following dialog window: | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{:renamedicom_ui.png|renamedicom UI window}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | * select a search folder (either by entering the name or using the **Browse...** button) | ||
+ | * once the settings (file extension limitation and sub-directory search) are made, click the **Search...** button | ||
+ | * the list of found files will appear | ||
+ | * files that are not supposed to be renamed (e.g. without extension limitation you also catch other files!) can be deleted by clicking the minus (**-**) button next to the list | ||
+ | * you can click on any of those files and then read in the DICOM header by clicking the **//i//** button | ||
+ | * from the available fields you can decide which fields to use to generate a target filename (see below) | ||
+ | * this should be tested (!) by clicking the **Test** button | ||
+ | * once everything seems to work fine, click the **Rename...** button | ||
+ | |||
+ | This way, several subjects/session can be processed at once! | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Target pattern creation ==== | ||
+ | The target file name will be determined from DICOM header fiels. The pattern will be parsed for occurrences of the percent character (%), which must comply to the following format: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * a single percent sign (**%**) | ||
+ | * a valid printf length field (representing the length of the inserted particle, use a leading 0 for numbers, e.g. **04**) | ||
+ | * the letter **k** (which indicates the separation of length and key number) | ||
+ | * the dicom key as 8-digit number (with leading zeros, e.g. 00200010, representing the subject ID) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Example: the string **'File-%04k00200010.dcm'** would be parsed to replace **%04k00200010** with the content of DICOM header field with key number 0020.0010, as a 4-digit number with leading zeros. |
