You can also take a look at [this python module](https://github.com/SlicerProstate/mpReview/blob/master/mpReviewPreprocessor.py) that provides a command line tool to essentially take a folder with DICOM data, and organize it into patient/study/series hierarchy of folders accompanied by volumetric reconstructions for each series. It does not handle RT, but it should be easy to add that. You can also find more details here: [How can I convert DICOM series to NRRD files in batch mode?](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/how-can-i-convert-dicom-series-to-nrrd-files-in-batch-mode/3421).
