Greetings Samadhi,
It is my understanding that you want to search through all the subfolders of a main folder, and for all DICOM files found, perform some analysis on the data.
You can use "Recursive directory listing - Enhanced RDIR" from the File Exchange to accomplish this. Following is a sample code snippet that demonstrates how to perform a depth-first search through the subfolders of a main folder and loop through DICOM files in each subfolder:
% Define path of the top-level folder
rootFolder = 'C:\Users\JohnDoe\Documents\Patients';
% Perform a depth-first search through the subfolders of the top-level folder
fileList = rdir(fullfile(rootFolder,'**','*.dcm'));
% Loop through each DICOM file found in the subfolders
for i = 1:length(fileList)
% Get the full path of the DICOM file
dicomPath = fileList(i).name;
% Read the DICOM file
dicomData = dicomread(dicomPath);
% Perform some analysis on the DICOM data
% ...
end
In this code snippet, we first define the path to the top-level folder. We then use the rdir function to perform a depth-first search through all the subfolders of the top-level folder and retrieve a list of all DICOM files found (including those in subfolders). We then loop through each DICOM file in the list and read the data using the dicomread function. Finally, we perform some analysis on the DICOM data (which you can replace with your own analysis code).
You can find more information and examples of using these functions in the following links:
Hope this helps!
Regards,
Suraj
