Hello everyone, I'm having trouble running mri_convert on the dicom images coming off our Siemens Allegra 3T head-only scanner.
With this command line: > mri_convert 5308.dcm > /Volumes/Storage/data/freesurfer/subjects/scfr/mri/orig/001.mgz I get this error: > unknown file type for file 5308.dcm Setting the input type to Siemens: > mri_convert -it siemens 5308.dcm > /Volumes/Storage/data/freesurfer/subjects/scfr/mri/orig/001.mgz I get this error: > reading from 5308.dcm... > ERROR: could not parse > /Volumes/Storage/data/freesurfer/subjects/scfr/mri/orig/01/5308.dcm > ERROR: siemensRead(): > /Volumes/Storage/data/freesurfer/subjects/scfr/mri/orig/01/5308.dcm And trying the siemens_dicom format (that perhaps I should have started with, in the first place): > mri_convert -it siemens_dicom 5308.dcm > /Volumes/Storage/data/freesurfer/subjects/scfr/mri/orig/001.mgz I get: > reading from 5308.dcm... > ERROR: /Volumes/Storage/data/freesurfer/subjects/scfr/mri/orig/01/5308.dcm is > not a siemens DICOM file > INFO: loading series header info. Followed by a series of malloc errors similar to this one: > mri_convert(5315) malloc: *** Deallocation of a pointer not malloced: > 0x3fc7; This could be a double free(), or free() called with the middle of an > allocated block; Try setting environment variable MallocHelp to see tools to > help debug followed by a Bus error. What am I doing wrong? We are now running Tiger (10.4.2) on our G5. I stuck a copy of the first image in the series here: http://freylab.uoregon.edu/freesurfer/5308.dcm Please let me know if this input format is not supported, yet, or what additional information I can provide to help solve this problem. I can probably come up with a work-around, like going through NIfTI format, if necessary, but it would be neat to be able to skip the additional step and import the .dcm files directly into FreeSurfer.
