Dear group
Many thanks for all your help and encouragement. I avoided analyze format as suggested - Converted extensionless dicom files to nifti1 mode using MRICONVERT ( http://lcni.uoregon.edu/~jolinda/MRIConvert/) and then used mri_convert to obtain .mgz files. It worked :) !!
The MRICONVERT program does not mind the absence of .dcm extensions from Philips scanner.
Cheers Lena

Hi Lena,
you definitely want to avoid analyze format, as it will remove the direction cosine information you need for example to tell left from right (it's probably why you have a flip).
We don't have much experience with dicom. Have you tried using -it dicom in mri_convert to be explicit about the format?
cheers, Bruce
