[MINC-users] MINC-users Digest, Vol 145, Issue 1

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.
