Hi,
I'm new to fMR and am using mri_convert to convert from siemens dicom to analyze/spm format.I ran the command below and had a couple of questions:
1 - Why does the first INFO: line say that 807 files were found when only 805 were input?
2 - Why were only 800 of 805 files converted?
3 - As it says at the end of the output, the axial plane is flipped. Is there any way I can prevent this?
Thanks for your help,
Alex
