i have 10 files. 1 file contains 50+ dicoms. I'm using a loop (for) to pop up array of all the dicoms in a file at once. is it possible to output an array for all the dicoms in 10 files at once? please help me

i list files using the os library. ID1 to ID10. then to read one file i use this script

<for name in ['ID1',]:
   for dicom in os.listdir("drive/MyDrive/Google Collab/Data/ID1')
     a = dcmread("drive/MyDrive/Google Collab/Data/ID1/" + dicom)

print(sum(a.pixel_array))

What I have tried:

i still cant find the script. right now i just copy paste the script for 1 file and use it for another 9 file..is there a script that can make it easier or how to make the script into a funtion?

Solution 1

Make it a function or method that you pass the file path to.
Then call that for each file.

Oh come on - you know the language better than that: https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_functions.asp

If you don't, then you really, really aren't going to get far until you sit down and learn it ...

What about learning to program and adaot existing script or create one ?
Try 2 nested loops. It is generic programming technique.
Show your actual script.
