       Find dicom files in one directory and copy them to a new directory.

       The  output  directory  given with "-o" can use DICOM attributes, by naming those attributes within curly
       braces.  For  example,  consider  "{PatientID}/{StudyDescription}/{SeriesDescription}-{SeriesNumber}"  or
       something similar to produce a hierarchical directory structure.

       The  files to be copied are specified with search keys, which take the form "-k key=value" where keys can
       either use the standard names given in the DICOM dictionary, e.g. Modality or SeriesDescription,  or  can
       be  in  the  form  GGGG,EEEE with hexadecimal group and element values.  The tags can also be listed in a
       query file with the "-q" option (one tag per line). Private  tags  should  be  preceded  by  the  private
       dictionary name in square brackets.

       The  values  used  for  "-k key=value" can use the wildcards * and ?, and can also use date ranges of the
       form "19990103-19990105".

       The "-u" option can be used to provide a list of UIDs.  Provide a file where the first line of  the  file
       is the key (e.g. SeriesInstanceUID) and the rest of the file is the UIDs to match, one UID per line.
