This is quite cumbersome, on UNIX this can be worked around with the following trick: $ find gdcmData -type d -exec gdcmscanner -t 10,10 -d {} -p ';' So all directory are locally traversed (no child directory are recursively traversed), which means results comes out much faster. dctable(1), gdcmdump(1), gdcmraw(1)
