Hi,

I am trying to convert dicom images acquired with the siemens TIM system to afni format using the following command:

Dimon -dicom_org -infile_prefix IMAGE -GERT_Reco -quit
which gives me the following message:
##########################################
-- scanning for first volume
-- checking 22 potential DICOM files... 00%** MRD: IMAGE_LOCATION and SLICE_LOCATION disagree:
z coord from IL = -17.233709, from SL = -13.089214
(using IMAGE_LOCATION)
100%
++ found 22 DICOM files
-- dicom sort : 11 inversions, 0 non-DICOM files
(dicom_org was useful)
.
-- first volume found
-- scanning for additional volumes...
-- run 12: 1

final run statistics:
volume info :
slices : 22
z_first : -23.7285
z_last : 112.6616
z_delta : 6.4948

run # 12 : volumes = 1, first file (#0) = IMAGE11
#################################################

Then when I run the GERT_Reco script, it says:

#####################################
Illegal value of nt after -time: option
Counting images: total=484 2D slices
++ DICOM WARNING: file IMAGE11 has Window tags; setenv AFNI_DICOM_WINDOW YES to enforce them
++ DICOM WARNING: bad Siemens Mosaic params: nx=100 ny=102 ix=5 iy=5 imx=504 imy=512
Reading images: ++ DICOM WARNING: file IMAGE0 has Window tags; setenv AFNI_DICOM_WINDOW YES to enforce them
++ DICOM WARNING: bad Siemens Mosaic params: nx=100 ny=102 ix=5 iy=5 imx=504 imy=512
++ DICOM WARNING: no more Window tags messages will be printed
++ DICOM NOTICE: no more Siemens Mosaic param messages will be printed
.
3D dataset written to disk
#########################################
so instead of imx and imy being 256 each, it reads them as 504x512 and hence my sagittal and coronal views are incorrect.

Please help.

Thanks,
