IOD stands for Information Object Definition, but is it not that
important. What is important is that my 3D volume is not stored in a
directory with one slice per file, but all the slices in ONE single file.
The DICOM header is in this case composed of
SharedAtributes+ConcatenatedPerFrameAttributes+PixelData

It's actually warning, but the geometry of the image is not determined 
correctly and therefore tkmedit refuses to display the image:

$mri_conver IM-0001-0001.dcm IM-0001-0001.mgz

  Error: Loading volume ./IM-0001-0001.mgz

  Couldn't read the anatomical volume.

  Tkmedit couldn't read the volume you specified.
  This could be because the image format wasn't recognized,
  or it couldn't find the proper header,
  or the file(s) were unreadable,
  or it was the wrong size.

Thanks in advance
