HeuDiConv
Flexible DICOM conversion into structured directory layouts.
HeuDiConv (Heuristic DICOM Converter) is a command line converter from DICOM to BIDS (or other structured layouts). HeuDiConv’s conversion parameters are encoded as configurable Python code (“heuristics”), enabling flexible and efficient use.
Development status
HeuDiConv is production software and is actively maintained.
Innovation
Conversion from DICOM to more usable formats is complicated and requires managing a lot of metadata, but some flexibility is needed to prepare the data in a form appropriate for the next steps. HeuDiConv allows the user to efficiently manage the flexibility while hiding unneeded complexity.
