Thanks for the help!
It looks like giving the first image of the series was enough to load all the images in the series. Thanks for the help...
My little Mac Air has been crunching numbers for over 16 hours by now...

I’m assuming you have sourced Freesurfer environment. Since you have identified the DICOM series to convert and have the list of DICOM files available, you can use ‘mri_convert’ directly:

External Email - Use Caution *Hi all,
Absolute newbie alert... End goal: 3D printing the brain of my son! After reading through the tutorial, I got stuck. I have a DICOM file, which I looked at with dcmunpack:
❯ dcmunpack -src . -scanonly scan.log if: Empty if. then: Command not found.
cd /Users/bram.dejong/Downloads/flux-mri /Applications/freesurfer/8.1.0/bin/dcmunpack -src . -scanonly scan.log

I figured out I need to use load series 5, t1_vibe_fl3d_sag_0.9mm into Freesurfer.
Looking at the log:
❯ cat log/5-dicomflst.txt /Users/bram.dejong/Downloads/mri/./DICOM/000009 /Users/bram.dejong/Downloads/mri/./DICOM/000010 /Users/bram.dejong/Downloads/mri/./DICOM/000011 /Users/bram.dejong/Downloads/mri/./DICOM/000012
[SNIP] /Users/bram.dejong/Downloads/mri/./DICOM/000170
How do I now direct Freesurf to only pick only series 5 rather than all files in the DICOM?
Greetings,
Bram
