Hi,
I'm new to fMR and am using mri_convert to convert from siemens dicom to 
analyze/spm format.I ran the command below and had a couple of questions:

1 - Why does the first INFO: line say that 807 files were found when only 805 
were input?

2 - Why were only 800 of 805 files converted?

3 - As it says at the end of the output, the axial plane is flipped. Is there 
any way I can prevent this?

Thanks for your help,
Alex
