Converting a DICOM image folder

The convertDICOM.py script allows you to convert a set of DICOM images into an atlas. It does not search recursively for the images, so the input folder must only contain the images to be converted on the first level.

Required packages

The script requires the following python packages:

• PIL
• pydicom
• numpy

Optionally, to also generate a gradient atlas:

• ndimage, misc from SciPy library

Usage

The script takes two input arguments. The <InputFolder> with the images to be converted and the <OutputFileName> where the atlas will be stored.

python convertDICOM.py <InputFolder> <OutputFileName>
