[MINC-users] dcm2mnc for Siemens Biograph mCT 64 PET/CT scanner

[Andrew Janke]

Hi Yoshi,

Which version of dcm2mnc are you using (dcm2mnc -version will tell
you), Bert has put a lot of work into the converter as of late to get
it up to speed.

My guess is that the converter cannot separate the frames and thus
only keeps the first frame, you can get around this but let's see
which version you are running first.
