RE: [Freesurfer] Problem converting IMA files

Hi Bruce

I tried -it siemens too (based on some list question) and that did't work either, but I see now that hey are named .IMA not .ima

Sorry, the FW-disk I got them from likely caused the problem.

Thanks,

Kristine

mri_convert should handle ima files. Have you tried -it siemens? Are they named .ima?

cheers, Bruce

Hi

I've tried converting IMA files (taken directly from the Siemens scanner) in Freesurfer with the command

mri_convert -ot cor <one filename in the sequence> <output file>

but it doesn't work. Gives an error message "cannot parse..." (see attached error message).

I'd be grateful for any suggestions.

Thanks,

Kristine
