That list gives you each acquisition and the protocol used to collect it. You chose one (or more) and pass a single file to recon-all with -i; recon-all will find the rest of the files in that series. As to which series you need, it is hard to say since I did not collect the data :). I'm guessing the 2nd one. doug

Hello Freesurfers,
I am a beginner and have a question about the dicom file I need to select to do the recon-all process.
I ran dcmunpack on the DICOM files I have with the following result

I don’t have one specific .dcm file to run the recon-all command
The directory structure on the CD that I have has the
9 Folders (SE00000, SE000001 …)
Each folder has 6 – 25 files (IM00000, IM00000 …)
There are a total of 225 files
When I use the software that came with the CD to see the images, I
can see that each folder has series of images in different angles of the skull (different resolutions)
Does recon-all use all the 225 images in all the folders?
If yes how do I know which of the above dcmunpack results is the best option to start the recon-all process?
I appreciate your help.
Thanks
Sravan
