Hi,
I had a strange problem trying to convert DTI dicoms. When I used the
following command to convert a raw dicom to nifti image, I obtained a
64-volume nifti that only contains one horizontal slice of the brain.
mri_convert [input Dicom] [output nifti name]
Does anyone have ideas for why this might happen? Thanks.
Best,
Jiahe
Here is the full log if it helps.

This looks like an MGH DTI volume
DTI is in non-moasic form, so cannot extract bvals/bvects
