Installation¶
Stable release¶
To install trialbureautools, run this command in your terminal:
$ pip install trialbureautools
This is the preferred method to install trialbureautools, as it will always install the most recent stable release.
If you don’t have pip installed, this Python installation guide can guide you through the process.
From sources¶
The sources for trialbureautools can be downloaded from the Github repo.
You can either clone the public repository:
$ git clone git://github.com/sjoerdk/trialbureautools
Or download the tarball:
$ curl -OL https://github.com/sjoerdk/trialbureautools/tarball/master
Once you have a copy of the source, you can install it with:
$ python setup.py install
Usage¶
Basics¶
The trial bureau tools are accessed from command line. On windows you can start a command line (also called ‘terminal’ or ‘shell’) in the following way:
Press
windows-key + r
type ‘cmd’ and press
enter
After that, typing 'tbt' + enter
will show the different commands available trial bureau tools.
You can add ‘–help’ to any command to see more info on using it. For example tbt sort --help
DICOM sorter¶
To sort all DICOM files in directory job1
using the nucmed
pattern:
$ tbt sorter sort job1 nucmed
To see what the ‘nucmed’ pattern is exactly:
$ tbt sorter pattern list
By default, sorting /folder1
will write sorted output to /folder1_sorted
. You can also set the output
folder manually:
$ tbt sorter sort job1 nucmed --output_folder C:/temp/myfolder
DICOM path patterns¶
Typing tbt sorter pattern list
will by default show the following:
$ tbt sorter pattern list
> idis: (0010,0020)/(0008,1030)-(0008,0050)/(0008,103e)-(0008,0060)-(0020,0011)/(count:SOPInstanceUID)
> nucmed: (0010,0020)/(0008,1030)-(0008,0050)/(0008,0020)/(0008,103e)-(0008,0060)-(0020,0011)/(count:SOPInstanceUID)
These are the DICOM path patterns. These are text strings consisting of any combination of the following elements:
Element |
Examples |
Description |
---|---|---|
Text |
|
Just any free text, inc. slash and - |
Dicom Tag Code |
|
A dicom tag with colons around it |
Dicom Tag Name |
|
A dicom tag name |
count: marker |
|
Will number the given tag |
To see a list of available Dicom tag codes and names, use tbt sorter pattern list_dicomtags
Dicom Pattern resolution¶
For each DICOM file a new path will be created by reading its values and filling in the pattern. For example, for a file with PatientID ‘1234’ and SopInstanceUID ‘1.1.1’:
Pattern |
Result (1 file) |
---|---|
|
|
Counting¶
Counting can be useful to make paths shorter. By adding count:
to an element, the sorter will
number each unique value. For example, for three files with the same PatientID but separate SopInstanceUIDs:
Pattern without :count |
Result (3 files) |
---|---|
|
|
|
|
|
Pattern with :count |
Result (3 files) |
---|---|
|
|
|
|
|
Adding custom patterns¶
To add a new pattern /folder1/(PatientID)/file(count:SopInstanceUID).dcm
named test
:
$ tbt sorter pattern add test /folder1/(PatientID)/file(count:SopInstanceUID).dcm
To remove this pattern again:
$ tbt sorter pattern remove test

Get Started!¶
Ready to contribute? Here’s how to set up trialbureautools for local development.
Fork the trialbureautools repo on GitHub.
Clone your fork locally:
$ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/trialbureautools.git
Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Assuming you have virtualenvwrapper installed, this is how you set up your fork for local development:
$ mkvirtualenv trialbureautools $ cd trialbureautools/ $ python setup.py develop
Create a branch for local development:
$ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
Now you can make your changes locally.
When you’re done making changes, check that your changes pass flake8 and the tests, including testing other Python versions with tox:
$ flake8 trialbureautools tests $ python setup.py test or py.test $ tox
To get flake8 and tox, just pip install them into your virtualenv.
Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub:
$ git add . $ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes." $ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.
Pull Request Guidelines¶
Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:
The pull request should include tests.
If the pull request adds functionality, the docs should be updated. Put your new functionality into a function with a docstring, and add the feature to the list in README.rst.
The pull request should work for Python 2.7, 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6, and for PyPy. Check https://travis-ci.org/sjoerdk/trialbureautools/pull_requests and make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions.
Deploying¶
A reminder for the maintainers on how to deploy. Make sure all your changes are committed (including an entry in HISTORY.rst). Then run:
$ bumpversion patch # possible: major / minor / patch
$ git push
$ git push --tags
Travis will then deploy to PyPI if tests pass.
