Hi Julia,

I’m sure one of the Freesurfer experts will reply soon.

Perhaps this will be helpful though.

It looks like recon-all is failing to find you dicom images.

You might want to post the recon-all command sequence you are using for them.

The first thing to check is that you are providing the name of one of the dicom files to recon-all, e.g.

recon-all -all -subject SubName -i full_pathname_of_one_of_the_dicom_files

recon-all -all -subject 173     -i /home/kriegerd/MriData/SubName/T1-Sagittal_MPRAGE_Iso_256x256.2/MR.1.3.12.2.1107.5.2.32.35217.2015051115153419213726461

Best - Don

Subject: [Freesurfer] recon-all error

Dear FreeSurfer developers,

I am new to FreeSurfer and this is the first time I am working with MR images.

I’ve been trying to run recon-all for my first subject and I keep getting errors like:

ERROR: GetDICOMInfo(): dcmGetDWIParams() 1

DICOM File: /Applications/freesurfer/subjects/MRtest2/001/001/9/00010001

break DICOMRead.c:5228

Ref Series No = 9

Found 302 files, checking for dicoms

ERROR: don't know how to get DWI parameters from --Hitachi Medical Corporation --

The DICOM files are from an open 1,2 T MR Scanner from Hitachi Medical Systems. We used a T1 isoFSE sequence.

FreeSurfer version: freesurfer-Darwin-OSX-stable-pub-v6.0.0-2beb96c

Platform: macOS High Sierra version 10.13.2

You will find the recon-all.log file attached.

Thank you very much,

Julia
