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.
