[MINC-users] DICOM to MINC conversion error

[Gavin Elias]

Hi,

I have been converting dicom files to minc using the dcm2mnc command.  I preprocessed these dicom files in Horos on my laptop, where I decompressed, anonymized, and then exported them.  For certain files, however, the dcm2mnc command is failing and I am receiving the following error when I run it:  'ERROR: Age units (048Y) unknown.' 

I am able to convert these dicom files to nifti format with no issue and convert from nifti to dicom fine.  I have tried processing the same dicom files in other versions of Horos and have encountered the same error during dcm2mnc.  A colleague of mine has been able to preprocess the same dicom files in Horos on his own laptop and was able to subsequently convert them to minc with no problem.  I am not sure what is causing the dcm2mnc conversion to fail.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Gavin
