why do you need to convert it to nifti? Can you process the minc directly?
See if freeview can display it:
freeview -v file.mnc

Hi Bruce,
Originally, data was in MINC format.

Hi Gunjan
what was the original data format that you had? Once you have
converted it to nifti in your current stream you can no longer
use the data, so you have to start further upstream
cheers

I try this out and get back to you if I stuck at
some point.
Thanks,

If so, it will be
separated into different "series" each
corresponding to one
acquisition (e.g. a T1-weighted one such as
mprage or FLASH).
Typically that series will have more than 150
slices (since
that's what it takes to cover the brain at
close to 1mm voxel
size). You need to give recon-all the dicom
file that contains a
single one of those slices. It doesn't matter
which one - we
will figure out the rest of them from any of
them

Hi Bruce,
I am sorry to say that I did not get you
properly.
Could you please say a bit more about "a
*single*
slice in the correct
series ". I want to try this option.

Hi Gunjan
freesurfer will handle the dicom
slices just
find. Just give
recon-all a *single* slice in the
correct
series with the -i
command and it should work. I
don't know
medcon, but it is not
propagating the direction cosine
info into the
nifti, which
means that the nifti files are
effectively
useless as you will
never be able to distinguish left
from right
again

Thanks Bruce,
I used "medcon" command
(Ubuntu) for the
stacking of
2D slices in order to
convert it in a volume.
These slices
were obtained
from a volume itself and
after making some intensity
changes, a
volume is
formed (using medcon)
again. Then I fed this
volume as input
to FS in
order to extract brain.
Can I overcome this
orientation issue ?

Hi Gunjan
the problem is that
the nifti
volume doesn't
contain the
direction cosine
information that
we need to
figure out what
directions are A/P,
I/S and L/R.

WARNING: neither

TR=1.00, TE=0.00,
TI=0.00, flip

WARNING: it does not

there was
sufficient

i_ras = (-1, 0, 0)
j_ras = (0, 1, 0)
k_ras = (0, 0, 1)
writing to test.mgz...
and if you try to view
the
converted volume in
freeview it shows
up in the wrong
orientation (e.g
what we think
is "coronal" is
actually horizonatal).
How did you create the
nifti
files? If you
give dicom directly
to recon-all you will
likely not
have this
problem
