Detailed Description

EmptyMaskGenerator Main class to generate a Empty Mask Series from an input Series. This class takes an input folder and generates a series of DICOM files in the specified output directory. This class handles multiples DICOM Series within the same input directory.

The class allow two mode of operations:

UseOriginalSOPClassUID
UseGrayscaleSecondaryImageStorage

UseOriginalSOPClassUID is the mode where original attributes are copied from the original DICOM instance.

UseGrayscaleSecondaryImageStorage is the mode where attributes are generated so as to create a MultiframeGrayscaleByteSecondaryCaptureImageStorage (MultiframeGrayscaleWordSecondaryCaptureImageStorage) instance.

In both mode:

the Study references (StudyInstanceUID and StudyID) are preserved.
the PatientID reference is preserved.
the Image Type attribute will be setup so that the fourth element is set to 'MASK'.
a new Series Instance UID is generated. It is thus required to run the process over all files using the same input Series Instance UID so that a proper mapping from the old Series UID is done to the new one. Since a new Series Instance UID is generated, there is no sense to preserve the original Frame of Reference UID, although it would have made sense here.
