Module Description

Create a DICOM Series from a Slicer3 volume. User can specify values for selected DICOM tags in the UI. Given the number of tags DICOM series have, it is impossible to expose all tags in UI. So only important tags can be set by the user.

Quick Tour of Features and Use

List all the panels in your interface, their features, what they mean, and how to use them. For instance:

• Input/Output panels:

The input/output panels is at the bottom of the UI panel, where the user can specify 1. the image volume in Slicer MRML tree to be converted into a DICOM series; 2. the directory where the DICOM files will be stored; 3. the prefix of the DICOM files; and 4. whether to output slices in reverse order.

Input/Output panels

• Parameters panel:

The parameters panel of this module is divided into "Patient Parameters", "Study Parameters", "Series Parameters", and "Image Parameters".

                          [--seriesNumber <std::string>] [--model
                          <std::string>] [--manufacturer <std::string>]
                          [--modality <std::string>] [--studyDescription
                          <std::string>] [--studyComments <std::string>]
                          [--studyDate <std::string>] [--studyID
                          <std::string>] [--patientComments <std::string>]

                          <std::string>


 Where: 

   --processinformationaddress <std::string>
     Address of a structure to store process information (progress, abort,
     etc.). (default: 0)

   --xml
     Produce xml description of command line arguments (default: 0)

   --echo
     Echo the command line arguments (default: 0)

   --reverseImages
     Reverse the slices. (default: 0)

   --dicomPrefix <std::string>
     The prefix of the DICOM filename. (default: IMG)

   --dicomDirectory <std::string>
     The directory to contain the DICOM series. (default: ./)

   --rescaleSlope <double>
     Rescale slope [0028-1053]. Converts pixel values on disk to pixel
     values in memory. (Pixel value in memory) = (Pixel value on disk) *
     rescaleSlope + rescaleInterscept.  Default is 1.0. Data values are
     converted on write (the data is scaled and shifted so that the slope
     and interscept will bring it back to the current intensity range).
     (default: 1)

   --rescaleInterscept <double>
     Rescale interscept [0028-1052]. Converts pixel values on disk to pixel
     values in memory. (Pixel value in memory) = (Pixel value on disk) *
     rescaleSlope + rescaleInterscept.  Default is 0.0. Data values are
     converted on write (the data is scaled and shifted so that the slope
     and interscept will bring it back to the current intensity range).
     (default: 0)

   --seriesDescription <std::string>
     Series description [0008-103E] (default: None)

   --seriesNumber <std::string>
     The series number [0020-0011] (default: 123456)

   --model <std::string>
     model [0008-1090] (default: None)

   --manufacturer <std::string>
     Manufacturer [0008-0070] (default: GE Medical Systems)

   --modality <std::string>
     Modality [0008-0060] (default: CT)

   --studyDescription <std::string>

   --patientName <std::string>
     The name of the patient [0010-0010] (default: Anonymous)

   --,  --ignore_rest
     Ignores the rest of the labeled arguments following this flag.

   --version
     Displays version information and exits.

   -h,  --help
