Hi Bruce,

No, I was not able to successfully converting it to a different format using mri_convert.
A similar error appeared.

When I read the tag information using MIPAV, it seems like it contains plenty of information (listed in dicom tag format)
to know the orientation/positioning of the subject.
Attached is the tag information listed in a text file. (I've deleted subject's personal info)

Thank you.


Best,
Lisa

Hi Lisa,

can you convert it to one of our supported formats? But even then, how will you know left from right?

Hello FreeSurfer experts,

I am trying to run recon-all on old (back from late 1990's) raw MRI data.
Each slice is in a raw format.
When I try to execute recon-all, I get the error shown below:
