Typical usage
NOTE
52       One may have to run some preliminary steps in order to get gdcmgendir
53       to generate the DICOMDIR file. Namely two steps:
54
55       · Batch renaming of the DICOM filename into something compatible with
56         ISO 9660 filename convention
57       · Convert all DICOM file into the Explicit VR Little Endian
58         Uncompressed (1.2.840.10008.1.2.1)
59       Step 1. can be solved in a numerous way. Eg. on UNIX environment this
60       could either be solved using the mkisofs command line tool. filename
61       should not contains any extension since the VR CS does not allow for
62       the '.' character. Only upper case, digit 0-9, the space ' ' and the
63       underscore '_' character are valid in VR CS, with a maximum of 8 bytes.
64       Another simple tool that can be handy is 'rename' in conjunction with
65       'basename'.
66       Step 2. can simply be achieved using the gdcmconv command line tool:
67         $ for i in `ls IMG*`; do gdcmconv --raw --force $i /tmp/out/$i; done
