RE: Extract sequence from Siemens IMA (DICOM)
Dear Kai,

Did you send dicom to USB directly via "Transfer --> Export to Off-line" menu of scanner?

If you select "Transfer --> Export to Off-line" menu, then a small window will be appeared.
At that moment, if you select "C:/MedCom/User" or "~~CDR_OFFLINE" option, then the dicom files will be saved on local hard drive of Siemens workstation.
In this case, dicom files(IMA) are not separated each series, as you mentioned.

But, you can select USB instead "C:/MedCom/User" option.
Then, the saved dataset in your USB will be separated series by series automatically.
You do not need to do additional work for deviding all series.

I hope this will be helpful for you.

Is there a tool to extract a specific sequence from an IMA (DICOM) file series fetched from a Siemens MRI scanner?

Background:
When I export multiple sequences from a Siemens Trio scanner to an USB stick, I get multiple IMA files that are not named after the sequences. Those files just have a filename with a continuously number. One can't see which file belongs to which sequence. Is there a tool that loads those files and let me extract a specific sequence to DICOM format (in a different folder). I tried many DICOM viewers, but they don't support any exporting to DICOM.

Threaded View
