       Dump selected metadata from a DICOM directory to a csv file.  For each attribute to be extracted, the tag
       can be given with "-k" (the "-k" option can be repeated as many times as  needed).   Tags  can  given  in
       hexadecimal  GGGG,EEEE  format, or in text format as specified in the DICOM dictionary.  Alternately, the
       tags can be listed in a query file given with the "-q" option (one  tag  per  line).   Attributes  nested
       within  sequences can be specified by giving a tag path e.g. "-k Tag1/Tag2/Tag3".  Either a forward slash
       or a backslash can be used to separate the components of the path.  Private tags should  be  preceded  by
       the private dictionary name in square brackets.

       If  the  same  tag is given more than once with "-k" (or if the tag is listed multiple times in the query
       file, or appears in both the query file and as a "-k" option), then its first  appearance  will  set  the
       column  number  that  it  appears in.  Also, with regards to the search, the value specified in the final
       appearance of the tag as an option will be the value used for the search.

       If no attributes are specified with either "-k" or "-q", then a default set of query attributes  will  be
       used.
