The ingest dicom command reads through directories of DICOM files and uses the DICOM header information to group them into the correct Acquisitions and Sessions in Flywheel.
This article explains the optional arguments for the import dicom command. See this article for directions on how to run the ingest dicom command.
Beta feature
CLI Bulk Ingest is currently in beta. This feature is designed to improve performance and stability when importing large volumes of historical data. CLI Bulk Ingest requires an upgrade to our new V3 infrastructure, which we will begin deploying to sites starting in April 2020.
We do not recommend using Bulk Ingest until your site is upgraded to V3 because this infrastructure change is required to the improved upload performance. If your site is on V2 infrastructure, continue to use the import command to upload historical data. Contact your site admin to see which version your site is on.
