Hmmm, trying mri_convert file.nii.gz file.mgz

Then give file.mgz to synthstrip. I thought it would work with nifty, but maybe not?

External Email - Use Caution Hi,

I am passing synthstrip an nii.gz file, and it keeps giving the error "ValueError: cannot determine file format from extension for test " (full error below). Any suggestions on how to fix this issue? The nifti files was made from dicom images using dcm2nnix.

Thanks!
