Howto: Find DICOM Files of a particular Modality¶

Here is an example on how to find DICOM files of a particular modality (requires ''fgrep''):

dcmdump -M +fo +Fs +sd +r /share/dicom/images/ +P Modality -q | fgrep -B1 "[OP]"

In this case, DICOM images with a modality value of "OP" (Ophthalmic Photography) are searched.

Note¶

Please note that some of the above used dcmdump options are not available for DCMTK releases prior to 3.6.0.
