       Find dicom files in one directory and copy them to a new directory.

       The  output directory given with "-o" can use DICOM attributes, by naming those attributes
       within          curly          braces.           For           example,           consider
       "{PatientID}/{StudyDescription}/{SeriesDescription}-{SeriesNumber}"  or  something similar
       to produce a hierarchichal directory structure.

       The files to be copied are specified with search keys, which take the form "-k  key=value"
       where  keys can either use the standard names given in the DICOM dictionary, e.g. Modality
       or SeriesDescription, or can be in the form GGGG,EEEE with hexadecimal group  and  element
       values.   The  tags  can  also be listed in a query file with the "-q" option (one tag per
       line). Private tags should be preceded by the private dictionary name in square brackets.

       The values used for "-k key=value" can use the wildcards * and ?, and can  also  use  date
       ranges of the form "19990103-19990105".

       The  "-u"  option  can  be used to provide a list of UIDs.  Provide a file where the first
       line of the file is the key (e.g. SeriesInstanceUID) and the rest of the file is the  UIDs
       to match, one UID per line.
