Hello,

After upgrading our scanner software to VB15A, we began receiving the following error from mri_convert when running unpacksdcmdir:

ERROR: incorreclty formatted version string syngo MR B15
found in dicom tag 18,1020 (len = 3 != 6)
Numaris Version: syngo MR B15 Maj = -1073750848, Min=-1073771672,
MinMin = -1208005856
child process exited abnormally
ERROR: mri_convert

The error seems to be arising from the parsing of the software version in the DICOM metadata; below are pre and post versions of the relevant line:

Software Version                : syngo MR B13 4VB13A
Software Version                : syngo MR B15

>From what I have been told, this is the official version and the metadata from the MGH scanner is the same. 
Has anyone else encountered this?
We are currently using the unpacksdcmdir and mri_convert from v3.0.5 - are there other versions of these that will read DICOMs from VB15?

Thanks,

Jason
