cspm_dicom

Updated: Can use MRIcroGL

This function is accessed from the CSPM menu (button top-left). It converts MRI raw data to nifti, and deals with DTI data.

  1. Folder where raw files are located.
  2. Option in case study data comes pre-separated into a parent folder with subfolders for each series.
  3. For multiple DTI series, creates a folder with all DTI series combined.
  4. Adjust the tensors by the amount the nifti image was shifted from the DICOM.
  5. Reader gradients from the DICOM headers (some Siemens scanners; beware of early versions).
  6. Rename the files with either the patient ID (as in the raw files) or specify the ID.
  7. Turn on to display more messages; may be useful for debugging.

See details on folder structure for more information, and Siemens Prisma-specific details.
