AFNI masters,

Would appreciate your help.

I'm trying to convert some mprage dicoms to afni brik/head. I tried to3d at first, but the resulting images looked quite odd. So, on the advice of a buddy, I ran Dimon (Dimon -gert_to3d_prefix MR_pre -dicom_org -gert_create_dataset -use_slice_loc -quit -infile_pattern '*.dcm'). However, when I do this, I receive the following error:

Dimon running, use <ctrl-c> to quit...

-- scanning for first volume
-- checking 181 potential DICOM files...  00%++ Data detected to be oblique
 100%
++ found 181 DICOM files
-- dicom sort : 2 inversions, 0 non-DICOM files, sort type 0x0
   (dicom_org was useful)

*************************************************
Error: missing slice(s) in first volume!
       attempting to re-start at file: IM-0001-469273472-0001.dcm
*************************************************
....
** no_wait: no volume found in 181 files

For other DICOM directories that this has failed on, I receive multiple 'error: missing slice(s) in first volume!' messages.

Not sure if it makes a difference, but the files are labeled as:
IM-0001-426148544-0001.dcm
IM-0001-426150144-0001.dcm
IM-0001-426183104-0001.dcm
....

Any idea as to what's going wrong? I'm at a loss.

Thanks,
John
