If you have the Neuromag software there's the GUI-based dicom_access tool.  There was also a neuromag command line utility create_mri_sets (possibly only for HPUX?) to do this.

Since (presumably?) the usual Freesurfer --> MNE pipeline isn't appropriate in this case for some reason, there's another command line alternative.  First you'd use Freesurfer's unpacksdcmdir to extract the info about the dicom files from a directory (this produces a text file with information like run #, # of slices, etc), and then run it again using those extracted parameters to read the dicom files from the directory and convert them into an .mgh file (see https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsFastUnpackData for a complicated example).  Then you can use the MNE-C command mne_make_cor_set to convert the .mgh file into a fif file (e.g., mne_make_cor_set --mgh mgh_input_file.mgh --out shiny_new_fif_file.fif).

All are a bit old school but should still work. Probably.

Jon
