What do you mean that FS did not accept the dicom files? Can you provide a command line and terminal output? You can use dcmunpack -src /path/to/dicom to get a list of the series in a dicom folder

Hi Bruce,

I converted first of all because freesurfer did not accept the dicom files. Furthermore the dicom's consist of a lot of files of different scans, and they are not named accordingly. The whole folder consists of files called eg 1254890234, so I have no clue how to get the right files.

Thanks!

    Hi Marja

    why are you converting at all? Why not just give one of the dicom
    files in the correct series to recon-all directly? I don't think
    we've ever seen an orientation problem if you process that way

    cheers

        No, when I view them in freeview the orientation is the same
        as in the
        original dicoms, but the results in the .stats files made me
        think that left
        and right might be swapped. Of course this could just really
        be the results
        of the correct hemispheres, but that is why I asked whether
        you are aware of
        any dimension switching during the recon-all. If not, than I
        can safely
        assume that the results are correct.

        Best,

              so you convert from dicom to nifti, then view in
        freeview and
              you think that the anatomical orientations are
        incorrect? That
              should definitely not be the case

                    Well the DICOMs I visualized in osiriX, and the
                    niftis in both freesurfer
                    and fsl. And there they seemed to match.
                    So my question is; is there a possibility that
                    dimensions are swapped during
                    the recon -all? If not, then I am sure R=R and L=L.

                          what did you visualize it in? I would suggest
                    freeview

                                I converted the images with MRIconvert,
                    then I
                                swapped them in FSL with
                                swapdim.
                                I checked the images by opening the
                    original dicoms
                                and the converted
                                niftis, and then visually compared them
                    (since the
                                heads are not very
                                symmetrical that was not too hard).

                                      how did you swap them? And more
                    importantly,
                                how did you check
                                      that the orientations were correct

                                conversion?

                                            Hi guys,

                                            Just a quick question; I
                    have converted
                                my original
                                            DICOMs into niftis.
                                            After the conversion I
                    manually checked
                                whether the
                                            orientations were still
                                            the same, and they were not,
                    so I
                                swapped them.
                                            After this I did a recon
                                            -all.
                                            A lot of my results are at
                    one side
                                while I expected
                                            them in the other
                                            hemisphere. Is there any
                    chance that the
                                recon -all
                                            swapped left and right?
                                            How to check for this? I
                    just want to be
                                sure that I
                                            am really talking about
                                            the right hemisphere.

                                            Thanks!

                                            Best,
