How does NBIA Data Retriever organize the data when performing a download?

The DICOM data can be saved in two different folder structures:

• The Descriptive Directory Name organizes the files in a child folder under the destination folder as follows: Collection Name > Patient ID > Study Date + Study ID + Study Description (54 char max) + last 5 digits of Study Instance UID > Series Number + Series Description (54 char max) + last 5 digits of Series Instance UID
• The Classic Directory Name organizes the files in a child folder under the destination folder as follows: Collection Name > Patient ID > Study Instance UID > Series Instance UID

In addition to the DICOM data, there will also be a LICENSE file outlining our Data Usage Policy and a metadata.csv file which contains key information extracted from the DICOM headers.
