We only have a few examples of the multi frame dicom, and they’re all of 
humans. We can anonymize one and email it to you directly.

I doubt that it will work. I've never actually seen a multi-frame dicom
myself. Can you upload one to me? It should be of a phantom, not a
human, so we can avoid privacy issues.

Hi Timothy

you should be able to. You can use the -nth <frame #> switch to convert
each frame individually

Hi All,

Can mri_convert be used with multiframe dicom?


Is this advice still valid? I tried converting a multi frame DICOM
(176 frames in one file) using the -nth flag in mri_convert in
Freesurfer 5.3 and it did not work as I expected.

$ $FREESURFER_HOME/bin/mri_convert -i RAW/301/foo.dcm -o
PROCESSED/subj/mri/orig/001.mgz -nth 0
/path/to/bin/mri_convert -i RAW/301/foo.dcm -o
PROCESSED/subj/mri/orig/001.mgz -nth 0

I get the exact same output running with -nth 0 as I do not using the -nth flag 
at all. If I try using -nth 1 (or -nth i for any integer i > 0) I get
mri_read(): start frame (1) is out of range (1 frames in volume)

mri_convert reports nframes = 1. I can look in the DICOM headers of the file 
and find
(0028, 0008) Number of Frames IS: ‘176’
and
(2001, 1018) [Number of Slices MR] SL: 176

Anything I can do to tell mri_convert the correct number of frames?
