DICOMDIR
The DICOMDIR file is part of the storage model defined for physical media

DICOMDIR is a directory structure defined by DICOM especially for exchange media (such as CDs) in part 10 of the DICOM Standard. This DICOMDIR is constructed as a flat directory file and contains patient, study, series, and image information about each file in a collection of DICOM-compliant files (a file-set). Users that need information about any given DICOM file-set can read the DICOMDIR file instead of having to read the actual files themselves.
