Interconvert image formats

dcm_to_4dfp

DICOM \(\rightarrow\) 4dfp

Usage: dcm_to_4dfp [-b base] [-d gggg eeee] [-f] [-g] [-u] file(s)

Slice Spacing Options: [-c] [-t <flt> or S or T]

Slice Position Options: [-X] [-Y] [-Z]

Examples:

dcm_to_4dfp *
dcm_to_4dfp -b ID101 -f -g -u *IMA
dcm_to_4dfp -d 0008 0030 -t 4.98 -g *.dcm
dcm_to_4dfp -b P0089 -t T -g mydir/*

Options

[-b base]

Output base filename follows the -b

[-c]

Slice Spacing: By Image Position (0020 0032)

[-d gggg eeee]

Divide series by group and element number (Default: ID series time (0008 0031))

[-f]

Directories will be created, and dicom files will be moved

[-g]

Add image name, XYZ relative position, and number to rec file

[-q]

Slice Spacing: Do not compute by Image Position

[-r]

Rescale: Use the rescale slope and intercept fields

[-t <flt>]

Slice Spacing: Use input value.[-t <flt>]

[-t T]

Slice Spacing: Use Slice Thickness 0018 0050.[-t T]

[-t S]

Slice Spacing: Use Slice Spacing 0018 0088 [-t S]

[-u]

Output files named using sequence tag 0018 0024 plus number

4dfp Coordinant System is determined by Image Position (0020 0032). Multivolume and BOLD images are ordered by REL Image Number (0020 0013). [-X] Sagittal: image positions will be ordered low to high [-Y] Coronal: image positions will be high to low [-Z] Transverse: image positions will be high to low [-@ <b|l>] output big or little endian (default CPU endian)

N.B.: -t S is the default slice spacing
N.B.: Default slice position is transverse ordered by REL Image Number (0020 0013)
