Looks like we can't read the dicom fully. Is this a standard ct produced by the scanner? I guess I would try some other conversion utility like mricro to convert to nifti

Hi Bruce,

Here is the output from mri_info on both the mgz volume and dicom series.

Cheers, Andy

can you run mri_info on the volume and see what it thinks the voxel dimensions are? Then also run it on the dicom series?

cheers Bruce

Hi all,

I'm having problems either or converting a series of dicoms from a CT scan obtained at MGH main. When viewing them in the standard hospital viewer, they appear normal, but when viewing them in TKMEDIT (either the original dicom series or converted mgz file), the scaling changes. Are there any options in mri_convert I can use to overcome this problem? See attached view of the mgz file.

Cheers, Andy
