NAME

       dcsort - ACR/NEMA DICOM PS3 ... DICOM PS3 - Make sorted list of images

SYNOPSIS

       dcsort   "   inputfile1   [   inputfile2   ...  ]"  [  -v|verbose  ]  [
                 -vv|veryverbose ] [ -vvv|veryveryverbose ] [ -index ] [ -show
                 ]  [ -interval ] [ -tolerance mm ] [ -check ] [ -checkFoR ] [
                 -descending ] [ -sortby|k  attributename ]

DESCRIPTION

       dcsort reads the  named  dicom  input  files  and  sorts  them  by  the
       specified sort key.

       The  sort  key  should  be  a single valued numeric attribute, with the
       exception of ImageOrientationPatient and ImagePositionPatient which are
       handled as special cases.

       There  is  no output by default unless the index or verbose options are
       specified.

OPTIONS

       The output and errors go to standard error.

       The basic input switches are described in dcintro(1). Options  specific
       to this program are:

       -index
              Creates  a  first column of output that is the index in the sort
              order, starting  from  0,  and  a  second  column  that  is  the
              filename.

       -show
              Show  the  value  of  the  sort key after the file name with the
              -index option

       -interval
              Show the interval between values of the sort key, or an error if
              not equal

       -tolerance mm
              The  tolerance  value  in  mm  to  use  when comparing intervals
              between slices; defaults to +/- 0.01 mm if unspecified

       -check
              Check that all the images are from the same series.

       -checkFoR
              Check that all the images  have  the  same  Frame  of  Reference
              (UID).

       -descending
              Sort in descending, rather than the default ascending, order.

       -sortby|k  attributename
              Specify attributename as the sort key.
