The DICOM Toolbox, Export & Save Guide

A detailed breakdown of batch file extraction, ZIP archiving, and Transfer Syntax conversion.

Transfer Syntax

Batch Syntax Converter

Convert an entire loaded study into any of 25+ DICOM Transfer Syntaxes without needing a PACS. Supports HEVC/H.265, HTJ2K, JPEG 2000 Lossless, and MPEG4 encoding for advanced testing.

How to use it Decompress thousands of proprietary JPEG files back to Explicit VR Little Endian so they can be processed by a legacy image analysis pipeline.
Testing

In-Memory Transcoding & Benchmarking

Optionally transcode files entirely within RAM. Instantly view before-and-after payload sizes alongside estimated transmission times across simulated clinical bandwidths (e.g. 5 Mbit/s to 20 Mbit/s).

How to use it Prove to network engineering that upgrading the VNA to compress Ultrasound sweeps into JPEG2000 Lossless will reduce transmit times by 65%.
Archive

Study Export to ZIP

Package hundreds of DICOM files into a single, highly compressed ZIP archive directly from the main workspace. Automatically generates clean, collision-free filenames based on SOP Instance UIDs.

How to use it Bundle a complex test study containing images, Structured Reports, and encapsulated PDFs into a single attachment to share with a vendor support team.
Privacy

Export Anonymisation

Toggle the "Anonymise before export" option to automatically run the DICOM standard anonymisation profile on every file as it is written to the ZIP. This enforces strict HIPAA/GDPR compliance without altering your original files.

How to use it Safely export clinical data to an external research partner by ensuring all Protected Health Information (PHI) and Patient Identifying Data (PID) is removed inside the ZIP payload.
Audit

CSV Export Manifest

Automatically generate and embed a `Log.csv` file within the exported ZIP archive. This CSV provides a human-readable index of all included files, detailing the Patient ID, Modality, SOP Class, and Study Date.

How to use it Provide researchers with a quick, searchable index of the 5,000 anonymised files they just received, allowing them to sort by Modality without opening a DICOM viewer.
Local

Direct File Save

Instantly export the currently loaded, edited, or anonymised DICOM files back to your local disk. You can overwrite the original source files directly or export them to a new, isolated directory.

How to use it After using the Tag Editor to fix a broken Accession Number across 50 images, click Save Files to permanently write the corrected metadata to the files on your hard drive.
