Luc, it is missing the pixel spacing (ie, voxel size), which is a fundamental quantity which should not be missing. Have you anonymized the data or done something else too it?

ERROR: reading DICOM/59175096 tag 28 30


Here is the version of FS I'm using: freesurfer-i386-apple-darwin10.8.0-stable5-20130513

What exactly do you mean when you ask where the DICOM's are from? I receive them from Brown's MRF facility, and we've been successful in converting them on other iMac's using the same version of FS.

Thanks,

Luc

can you send the complete command line and screen output, and tell us what version of FS you are using and where the dicoms are from?

Hi Freesurfers,
I am trying to use Freesurfer to convert DICOM files to nii f.nii files.
Freesurfer is able to find all the DICOM files but always gives me an error:
"ERROR: reading DICOM/59175096 tag 28 30".

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Luc
