Hi Rick,
Our data have been transferred to MV300 workstation (Magic view, Siemens Co.) from Siemens MR scanner, then saved as a dicom format into the window system or FAT system. The data are converted to SPM or bshort format by Mricro or mri_convert and then translated into AFNI BRIK by using 3dcopy or to3d. After doing that, the slices of each brain volume is in proper order, but was not registered or matched well to 3D MPRAGE anatomical structure with AFNI GUI viewing, particularly of the length from the inferior to superior of epi brain structure in z direction much shorter than that of 3D anatomical structure. Thus, I try to use to3d converting the dicom to AFNI format directly. Anyway,I do not know how to solve this problem. I hope you to help me fix it or give me some advices or any suggestion. Thanks in advance.
