[MINC-users] dcm2mnc with Philips scan

[Audette, Michel]

Hi everyone, 

there seems to have been trouble with the BIC website, so my Google search for my problem met with silence when I tried to click the link to a prior thread. 

My current problem is trying to convert Philips dicoms files to minc. I see the following: 

maudette at icaw164201:~/research/source/hip> dcm2mnc becken-boehme-dicom/dicom/Std165/Ser632/* becken-boehme-mnc
Checking file types...
File becken-boehme-dicom/dicom/Std165/Ser632/Img15660 appears to be DICOM (CD/Export).

Can anyone offer any guidance? 

Best regards,
