磁共振成像数据自动整理工具箱的研制

Development of auto arrangement toolbox of magnetic resonance imaging data

目的:在对批量DICOM格式的磁共振成像数据进行处理之前,需要对数据文件夹进行重命名、统一编号以及格式转换等整理工作,手工进行该项工作耗时、耗力且易出错,为了解决此困难,本研究研制出一个磁共振成像数据自动整理工具箱。方法:在Windows环境下,采用MATLAB的图形用户界面进行开发,并采用简单函数对数据进行读写操作,调用内置程序进行数据处理。结果:该工具箱可自动完成对磁共振成像的DICOM数据文件名的重定、统一编号、格式转换与分类放置的功能。结论:该工具箱界面友好、易于操作,可极大地提高科研工作效率。

Objective Before processing huge magnetic resonance imaging （MRI） data stored in digital imaging and communication in medical （DICOM） format, some arrangement steps such as renaming and sorting data files, and data format conversation usually are performed manually, which is time-consuming and error-prone. An auto arrangement toolbox of the MRI data was developed to solve the above difficulties. Methods In Windows environment, the graphical user interface of MATLAB was used for the development. Simple functions and built-in procedures were used for reading, writing and processing of the data. Results Renaming and sorting DICOM data files, data format conversation and classification of data files were completed automatically by using the proposed toolbox. Conclusion With a friendly interface, the toolbox is easy to be operated, greatly improving the work efficiency.
