Hi Rosalia
you give a *single* one of your 192 .ima files to recon-all with the -i switch. It will figure out all the other files in your volume and process them. You could also give it a .nii.gz file as well, but in general we like to start with the dicoms if possible

Dear FreeSurfer list,
My name is Rosalia and this is the first time I post an email on your list.
I have never run FreeSurfer before and I have a doubt regarding the converting process.
For every T1 folder, I have 192.ima files. I do not know how to pass from this point to .mgz. It seems that in the tutorial you are speaking about converting one .dcm file to .mgz file. In my case, I have 192 .ima files and I do not know how to pass them to one .dcm file and then to .mgz file. Even, I am not sure if I could work with .nii.gz files instead of .mgz because I know that my .nii.gz files are well oriented but I do not know if my .mgz files will have any orienting problem.
I would be more than grateful if you could kindly help me with this question.
Kind regards, Rosalia
