Dear MRtrix users,<div><br></div><div>I've had a few requests recently about DICOM multi-frame support, so I've finally done something about it. Attached is a patch implementing this, which should apply cleanly against the current 0.2.10 source download. I'm releasing it now as a patch since it required a fairly extensive rewrite of the DICOM backend in MRtrix, and the chances are there will be a few bugs that remain to be sorted out. That said, I've tried it out on a few datasets from a range of manufacturers, and so far it seems to work OK for both multi-frame and "traditional" DICOM data. It might also solve a few issues others have reported recently when trying to extract the diffusion information. </div>
<div><br></div><div>So I'd be grateful if people could give this a go, both for standard and multi-frame DICOM data, and send me feedback about what works and what doesn't (hopefully not much). Once I'm happy everything works OK, I'll put out a new proper release. </div>
<div><br></div><div>To install the patch, dump it in your MRtrix source folder, and issue the following commands (as per usual, amend as necessary):</div><div><br></div><div>$ cd mrtrix</div><div>$ tar xvfj mrtrix-0.2.10_DICOM_multiframe_patch.tar.bz2 </div>
<div>$ ./build</div><div>$ sudo ./build install</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br>Donald.</div><div><br></div><div><br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br><font color="#ff6600" size="1"><b>Dr Jacques-Donald Tournier<br>
