Hi,

I also have a series of Siemens mosaic data I am trying to convert into a 4D dataset, but I am running into the following error:

scnlab% Dimon -GERT_RECO -gert_filename save_EPI -dicom_org -quit -gert_nz 32 -gert_to3d_prefix EPI -infile_pattern "*.IMA"

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

-- scanning for first volume
-- checking 160 potential DICOM files... 00%** failed to read file 'WAC2006-007*.17518304.IMA' as dicom
** failed to read file

...

++ found 0 DICOM files
** found no DICOM files to process


------

I've also tried using 3dcopy to recombine them using 3dbucket, but I am running into a dead end there as well:

scnlab% foreach file ( * )
foreach? 3dcopy $file {$file}_AFNI
foreach? end
++ 3dcopy: AFNI version=AFNI_2009_12_31_1431 (Jan 26 2010) [32-bit]
*+ WARNING: missing view dataset: WAC2006-007.*.IMA+orig - SKIPPING
** ERROR: no datasets found!

etc.


Any insights as to what I may be doing wrong here? We usually export in DICOM format, but for this particular study we only transferred the IMA files; I would like to learn how to convert them before asking the scan center to export everything again.


Many thanks in advance,

-Andrew
