Typical usage
Simple usage
In order to display all the value for Patient Name (0010,0010) in the
directory name gdcmData, simply do:
$ gdcmscanner -t 10,10 -d gdcmData -p
Complex usage
Because gdcmscanner does not support progress, you have to wait until
all files are traversed to see any results. This is quite cumbersome,
on linux this can be worked around with the following trick:
$ find gdcmData -type d -exec gdcmscanner -t 10,10 -d {} -p ;
So all directory are locally traversed (no child directory are
recursively traversed), which means results comes out much faster.
