Burker tree (bruker2dicom)

Bruker tree

Let's consider one of the following command lines :

./bruker2dicom list subjects/

./bruker2dicom convert subjects/ pathToDicomOutput/

The convert and the list options of bruker2dicom can take a path containing one ore more bruker subjects, a bruker subject must contain at least a subject file.

---

Example of valid path tree :

subjects/

• subject1/
• subject 1/ 2/ 3/ 4/ ...
• subject2/
• subject 1/ 2/ ...

---

In this example, we have 2 subjects : subject1 containing 4 series and subject2 containing 2 series. To be valid, a series must contain at least a pdata/ directory (containing the reconstructions for the current series).

---

Our subjects/ tree (focused on the first series of subject1) :

subjects/

• subject1/
• 1/
  • pdata/ ...

---

A series can contain one or more reconstructions. A reconstruction must contain at least an id file.

---

Our subjects/ tree (focused now on the first reconstruction of the first series for the subject subject1) :

subjects/

• subject1/
• 1/ (series)
  • pdata/
    • 1/ (reconstruction)
      • id ...

This tree organization is important in order to get the correct dicom file(s) at the end of the process.
