A DOS batch file to create jpg thumbnails of a whole directory of DICOM images. Requires ImageMagick (http://www.imagemagick.org/) to be installed, making use of the mogrify.exe command.

You’ll need to change the extension of the downloaded file to .bat from .txt for Windows to recognise it as a batch file.

You may need to edit the file and put the full path to “mogrify.exe” in for it to work.

To use, open Windows Explorer and drag a directory of DICOM files on top of the batch file. It should then produce small jpg versions in the same directory as the original files.
