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

[Vladimir S. FONOV]

Hello Yoshi,

I had a similar situation some time ago, I found that I had to rely on 
dcmdump from dcmtk first to split all the DICOM files into individual 3D 
volumes, then run dcm2mnc on each set independently, and finally 
concatenating them with mincconcat along time dimension.
