RE: dcm2niix error: Unable to decode JPEG. Please use dcmdjpeg to uncompress data.

  1. You should upgrade to the latest version of dcm2niix (from 2024) instead of a version from 2021.
  2. You will want to install a version of dcm2niix that has support for compressed DICOM transfer syntaxes.

You can get dcm2niix here:


  https://github.com/rordenlab/dcm2niix/re...


dcm2niix can be compiled with or without support for compressed transfer syntaxes. You can see this in the first line of the output. For example, an executable that supports JPEG2000 (JP2) and JPEG-lossless (JP-LS) would report:


 


Chris Rorden's dcm2niiX version v1.0.20240202  (JP2:OpenJPEG) (JP-LS:CharLS) Clang12.0.0 ARM (64-bit MacOS)


If you are unable to install a modern version of dcm2niix compiled with support for compressed images, you can decompress your images using dcmdjpeg
