[MINC-users] rawtominc difficulties

[Audette, Michel]

Dear all, 

when I try to perform a rawtominc, with any slice number larger than 1, I get rawtominc: Premature end of file.
See below:

maudette at icaw164201:~/data/ENTdata> rawtominc -clobber HumanS16885_Stack.mnc 489 366 2 -input HumanS16885_Stack.raw
rawtominc: Premature end of file.

The following is my tiffinfo result, for the tiff file that produced the raw file.

When I did a tiff2pdf I saw that the pdf file looked fine, and had 340 pages. 

Can anyone suggest how to proceed? Is there a way of checking that my raw file was properly converted from tiff, to begin with?

Thanks for your kind consideration. 

Cheers, 

Michel
