Hello everyone,
I ran into the same problem converting GE multi-volume data from DICOM to nifti 4D with mri_convert as Adam Thomas in the [Freesurfer] mri_convert: dicom to nifti 4D https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pipermail//freesurfer/2006-July/003324.html thread did: I got one volume containing several thousand slices instead of the 4D volume. I also downloaded the improved version that Doug posted in the thread, and it solved my problems until recently.
I have a new data set that won't convert anymore, and "mri_convert -it dicom -ot nii -dicomread2 ./mydicomfile.DCM ./myniftifile.nii" exists with the following error:
*** glibc detected *** malloc(): memory corruption 0x083ba568 ***
The data set is taken with the exact same protocol, except that it contains more volumes (227 instead of 176 volumes with 29 slices each).
According to Doug in this thread [Freesurfer] generic dicom converting https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pipermail//freesurfer/2006-July/003477.html, there is a new version out that may solve my problem, but as it is part of the DEV version, I cannot download it as far as I know since I am not at MGH. Is there any way to download it that I don't know of?
Also, I am normally using the x86_64 version, while the one posted in the previous thread is only the x86 one, so I have to have the 32 bit version of freesurfer installed and use its path when I run this version of mri_convert.
Thank you very much for your help,
Valentin
