[MINC-users] dcm2mnc of dynamic PET files

[Olivier Rousset]

Dear fellow MINC users,
I am having some issues with dcm2mnc on dynamic PET data (1155 DICOM files = 35 slices x 33 time-points):

 mincinfo 041_003_20131122_080151_0_pet.mnc 

file: 041_003_20131122_080151_0_pet.mnc

image: signed__ short -32768 to 32767

image dimensions: zspace yspace xspace

    dimension name         length         step        start

    --------------         ------         ----        -----

    zspace                   1155         4.25            0

    yspace                    128           -2          128

    xspace                    128           -2          128

So it looks like the program mixes up time-frames for slices, for lack of better words.I have tried all options with dcm2mnc to no avail.
 I am using the latest version of MINC tools for Mac OS High-Sierra

dcm2mnc -version

program: 2.3.01 built Aug 28 2018 22:43:28

libminc: 2.4.03

netcdf : 4.5.0 of Aug 28 2018 22:34:44 $

HDF5   : 1.8.20

Thank you for your insight and best wishes,
- Olivier
