readDICOM: Read All DICOM Files in a Directory

          counter, ...)

Arguments

path
Path name to the DICOM directory.
recursive
Search recursively down from the given path name.
exclude
Exclude file names containing this character string.
verbose
Flag to provide text-based progress bar.

Arguments to be passed to readDICOMFile.

Value

  • A list structure with two major components:
  • imgAll images associated with the DICOM directory(ies).

A for loop is used to process each DICOM file contained in the directory(ies). If only a single file is specified in the path, readDICOM will read that file only.
