<div dir="ltr">Hi,<br><br>I'm trying to convert DICOMs coming off our Agilent scanner using mrconvert. It's recognising two series, when I know it should only be one. I'm very sure this is a problem with the script creating the DICOMs.<div>
<br></div><div>So here's my mrtrix problem/question: I'm trying to modify the DICOM headers (using dcmtk) so mrconvert recognises it as a single series. I've tried it on the same data twice: </div><div><br></div>
<div style>cp -r orig_data tmp1</div><div style>dcmodify -i "(0008,103e)=30dirs_b3000_0.38" -i "(0018,1030)=DTI-epip" tmp1/*.dcm<br></div><div style>cp -r orig_data tmp2</div><div style>dcmodify -i "(0008,103e)=30dirs_b3000_0.38" -i "(0018,1030)=DTI-epip" tmp2/*.dcm<br>
</div><div><br></div><div>The first time it worked (ie recognises only one series), the second time it didn't. I used dcmdump to read the dicom headers and used diff to see where the differences were, and there are none. Ie:</div>
<div><br></div><div style>dcmdump tmp1/*.dcm > tmp1.txt</div><div style>dcmdump tmp2/*.dcm > tmp2.txt</div><div style>diff tmp1.txt tmp2.txt</div><div><br></div><div>and no differences. :(</div><div><br></div><div>Any idea what's going on, ie why it worked the first time and every subsequent time it doesn't? I'm assuming that mrtrix uses DICOM headers to work out if there's multiple series.<br>
<br>Thanks in advance for any insight you can give me!</div><div style>Amanda</div><div><br>--<br>Amanda Ng<br>Computational Biomedical Imaging Scientist<br><br> Monash Biomedical Imaging<br>
