The problem is likely osirix. It often strips off siemens-specific info needed to convert the mosaics that are used in the functionals. With mri_convert, you don't need to separate the dicom files into runs in separate directories, just pass it one dicom file from the run you want to convert, and it will figure everything else out.

Dear list,
I have a question about dicom sorting and the coversion to nifti. That is, I used Osirix to sort dicom images into separate runs, and then use mri_convert to convert them from dicom to nifti, which works well for anatomical scans, but not for the functional ones. I have no clue what is lost in the funcitonal runs after sorting with Osirix.
So I tried with Dimon (afni) to sort, and 3DAFNItoNIFTI to convert, but the problem is, the functional and anatomical runs are all in the same folder,and Dimon seems to be a bit problematic with this,(Dimon searches for images that all have the same volume definitions,and since in one folder there are many different z-offset images)
Any suggestions will be helpful.
