This command can be used to locate DICOM files. It shares many
features with the UNIX "find" command. When searching for files with a
specific attribute (with "-k"), the tag can be specified in the form
GGGG,EEEE or with its canonical name e.g. Modality=MR from the DICOM
dictionary. Alternately, the tags can be listed in a query file given
with the "-q" option (one tag per line). Attributes nested within
sequences can be specified by giving a tag path e.g. "-k
Tag1/Tag2/Tag3". Either a forward slash or a backslash can be used to
separate the components of the path. Private tags should be preceded
by the private dictionary name in square brackets.
The "-exec" and "-execdir" arguments cause dicomfind to run the
specified program on the found files. For example, to dump each file
one would use "-exec dicomdump {} \;" where each instance of {} will be
replaced by a found file, and ";" indicates the end of the args to
dicomdump. Alternately, if "+" is used to end the args, then the
program will be run on each DICOM series and {} will be replaced by all
files in the series. The "-execdir" argument is similar, except that
it runs the program from within the directory of the file (or files),
and {} is replaced by just the filenames instead of with the full
paths.
