What's 4dfp? Why not use mri_convert to convert the dicom directly to mgz?

The images are originally dicom that are converted to 4dfp. The 4dfp is then converted to mgz.

I am unable to view the images with the tkmedit -f sessionname.dcm command

I am assuming this is because we are using the 4dfp rather than dicom.

The images undergo no processing in terms of flipping or rotation about the axis from dicom tot 4dfp - they are concatenated.

What is the original source of the images? If dicom, try loading the dicom directly into tkmedit, something like:

tkmedit -f image.dcm

Which axis is it flipped around?

Hello,

After running autorecon1 and viewing the brainmask.mgz images with tkmedit, the images appear rotated 180 degrees.

Any suggestions on how this might be corrected would be greatly appreciated.

The images are Seimens 3T Trio images that were converted without errors to the mgz format.

Thanks, Lindsay
