Hi Zahra - What scanner/sequence was this scan collected with? From your scan info below, it looks like run IM01113 has dimensions: 110 x 110 x 74 x 1. This means only 1 volume, so it's not a full diffusion series. What does it look like when you open it in a viewer, like freeview?
Anastasia.

Hello Freesurfers,
I have 6 runs of DTI data per subject in a sample of 50, and I want to unpack the dicoms, so it outputs the bval bvec values, to use in dt_recon. I realized I can use either dcm2nii or mri_convert to do this. Could you please let me know what the command should be? and also should I do it separately for each run? subject’s scan info is attached. I used the below command in dev environment but didn’t get any bval bvec values.
mri_convert /${subj}/IMAGES/IM01113 /${subj}/DTI/IM_13.nii
Appreciate your help. Mona
