NAME

       vbrename - rename/sort DICOM files heuristically

SYNOPSIS

       vbrename <dir>

DESCRIPTION

       vbrename is part of the VoxBo suite of tools for brain image analysis.

       vbrename  takes  a  directory  containing  DICOM  files  and sorts the files into separate
       directories for each series.  The directories are renamed using the series  and  protocol,
       while the files are renamed using the instance, date, and time.

       By default, vbrename tries to remove identifying data from each file by wiping out various
       fields, including all of groups 0010, 0012, 0032, and 0038, and any element with a  VR  of
       PN  (person  name).   This  is  not  guaranteed  to  be helpful or complete.  For more de-
       identifying options, see dcmsplit(1).  You can disable this behavior using the -n flag, in
       which case the files are renamed and moved around, but not otherwise modified.

       To get a complete list of available flags, run the program with no arguments.

AVAILABILITY

       Pre-built VoxBo binaries are available for Linux, OSX, and Cygwin, and via the NeuroDebian
       project (neuro.debian.net) for Debian derivatives.
