I see. I'll defer to Doug on this.

Hi Martin,

what is IOD?  We use multiframe images (multiecho) all the time using:

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


mri_convert -nth $echono <input dicom series> output_echo${echono}.mgz

what error do you get?

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

 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

Hi,

our MR scanner produces DICOMs with enhance MR IOD, i.e. multiframe image
file. When I try to use this format with FreeSurfer mri_convert fails. I
assume it is not designed for this type of images, isn't it? Anybody
knows a workaround?

Thanks in advance for help (and great software),

Martin
