Not sure if this helps, but you can alter the output orientation using the flag "--out_orientation" followed by LIA (for example). Maybe the input file needs to be in a specific orientation before it can be converted properly.

Hi,
I'm currently having problems converting .IMA files collected from a Siemens Skyra to .mgz format using mri_convert from Freesurfer5.3 on os x.
Using:
mri_convert -it siemens -ot mgz 1.IMA test.mgz
I get the error message:
does not contain a Siemens ASCII header has this file been anonymised?
ERROR: cannot unpack mosiacs without ASCII header
The .IMA files have been taken straight from the scanner console.
If I try:
mri_convert -it dicom -ot mgz 1.IMA test.mgz
this creates the .mgz, however there is an orientation shift and a vertical stripe artefact appears in the sagittal view (please see attached) when compared to the original .IMA.
Any suggestions on how to convert the Siemens .IMA files correctly?
Thanks,
Paul
