AFNI Message Board

Dear AFNI users-

We are very pleased to announce that the new AFNI Message Board framework is up! Please join us at:

https://discuss.afni.nimh.nih.gov

Existing user accounts have been migrated, so returning users can login by requesting a password reset. New users can create accounts, as well, through a standard account creation process. Please note that these setup emails might initially go to spam folders (esp. for NIH users!), so please check those locations in the beginning.

The current Message Board discussion threads have been migrated to the new framework. The current Message Board will remain visible, but read-only, for a little while.

Sincerely, AFNI HQ

Hi, Rick,

I have searched some old posts from you and other list users. I get to know that Dimon would extract the relevant information from the DICOM file and provide it to the to3d for the process. Given some issues, I tried to include two options (i.e., - assume_dicom_mosaic, -skip_outliers) to the Dimon command, but it does not work. To get clear what the exact process is, could you offer me some instruction on those issues? For instance, if we use the command below.

to3d -prefix EPI_Sub1 -time: zt nz nt TR alt+z - assume_dicom_mosaic -skip_outliers -save_outliers outlier_fname Input_document_dicom

How to know whether my slices are in the order "z-axis first, then t-axis" or the contrary "t-axis first, then z-axis". Also, how to decide whether I should use alt+z, or alt+z2 (I know the difference between them)? I ask you these questions as I myself can not find the information from the dicom file headers. I am also not clear how Dimon could get them and then provide it to to3d function - I tracked the output from the Dimon process, but could not find it. It seems that no one has made it clear.

Thank you very much for your time,
J
