This can be a real headache. Rick Hoge at MGH has written a utility to=20=

send DICOM and translate to minc, as well as a stand-alone command line=20=

converter. This works OK if all you need to do is translate T1 or=20
MPRAGE DICOMS to minc and you know exactly what's in your DICOM series.=20=

The problem comes when the scanner or PACS system lumps sequences=20
together, such as first and second T2 echos, DWI/ADC and fMRI=20
sequences. I know of no utility that will parse mosaiced fMRI DICOM to=20=

minc at all. The easiest way is to get *.img files off the scanner and=20=

convert those.

If anyone knows of a good way to do this I'd love to hear about it.

Rick's email is: rhoge@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu.
