I am a new user of this software and I am having a hard time downloading images from the MRI research center where my images were taken. Is there a way to download all of the series so they are separated by task? For example, when I download the study all of the files are just placed in to one big folder and it is hard to decipher which task they are apart of? Also, if I try to download them by going in to the study folder on the website and then selecting each series separately they also download into one big folder? Can anyone shed some light on the best way to go about my problem?
Thank you in advance!!
How to separate series when downloading?
The "study" is an hour MRI, that is broken up into different sequences (i.e MPRAGE, functional tasks, T2 structural images etc) that are considered to be "series" in your system. When I go to download them from a web browser, I was wondering if there was anyway that I can download all of the "series" (or sequences that each have a number of scans) at one time but have them be separated into their respective series folders on my computer...as of now when I download them they all just go into one folder titled "study1" when I try to download them. Until now people in my research group have had to go in and download each of the "series" separately for each patient, which as you can imagine is quite time consuming! Please let me know if this is again unclear. Thank you.
How is the information about these different series encoded (i.e MPRAGE, functional tasks, T2 structural images etc) ?
It may be possible that we created separate sub-folders in the downloaded zip file for each series, e.g., "series 1/", "series 2", etc, and store the raw Dicom images for each series under their corresponding sub-folders. But what we need is something that can uniquely identify each series, e.g., we can use the Series Number or Series Instance UID, but such generic information may not be helpful for your case because the users won't be able to tell which series from the generic sub-folder names.
