[Freesurfer] repost: mri_convert Siemens Skyra .IMA CentOS5.7 FS5.3

Hi,

I am still having some concerns using mri_convert on Skyra volumes that I'm hoping can please be addressed.

On this occasion I have used mri_convert to convert a single dicom file to nifti from a volume collected on a siemens Skyra scanner using Freesurfer5.3 on CentOS5.7.

When viewing this nifti image using tkmedit it appears 'cut-up' over many sagittal slices (please see attached) rather than the whole image appearing on one plane.

Not sure if this is an issue with tkmedit or mri_convert?

This problem persists if i convert the entire volume, with this 'cutting' appearing as vertical lines in the image.

This is also the case when using the new mri_convert patch for OS X.

Lastly, I can upload a dicom file if needed.

Thanks, Paul
