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 attributes used in the path should
be from the following list:
PatientID, PatientName, PatientBirthDate, PatientSex, StudyID, StudyDescription, StudyDate,
StudyTime, StudyInstanceUID, SeriesNumber, SeriesDescription, SeriesInstanceUID, Modality,
AccessionNumber.
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".
