[MINC-users] dcm2mnc of dynamic PET files

[Robert D. Vincent]

Hi Olivier,

It's common for the DICOM to contain useless, hidden, or missing
information for the time dimension, and dcm2mnc won't fix all such issues.

If you can share the sequence, or at least some data from it, I might be
able to make a diagnosis.
