DICOM Parser Script

This repository contains a Node.js script that utilizes the dicom-parser library to parse DICOM files and extract specific information from them. The script allows you to search for a specific DICOM key and retrieve associated impression text.

• Node.js: You need to have Node.js installed on your system. You can download it from here.

Usage

To use the script, follow these steps:

1. Place your DICOM file in the project directory.

2. Open a terminal and navigate to the project directory.

3. Run the script with the following command:

   node index.js path/to/your/dicom/file.dcm [targetKey]

   Replace index.js with the name of the script file if you've renamed it. Replace path/to/your/dicom/file.dcm with the actual path to your DICOM file. You can also provide an optional targetKey parameter to specify the key you want to search for (default is "QURE_CODE_12").
