Greetings all,

I have DICOM files taken from Siemens Sensation 16 CT Scanner. I can load them up fine directly from the DICOM files through MRI View3D with the option [Siemens DICOM (1.00)]. The option [Siemens, GE, or Philips DICOM] produces a full even image but is otherwise barren. I can arrive at the same destination by converting to .RAWs and .MHDs or NIfTI .HDRs and .IMGs. Analyze .HDRs and .IMGs invert the image.

There are certain issues however. Each file folder has a varied number of image files (51, 72, 66, 160, 54, etc). What kind of gradient tables handle such variety?

I did notice that DTI did turn these different size folders into 17, 19, or 33 slice in the program. I reckon that there might be 17, 19, and 33 slice Siemens gradient tables for these?  I do not possess such Siemens gradient table(s). I will try calling the manufacturer but if Dr. Mori or Dr. Jiang have a compatible gradient table. 

I'm currently working with three folders to develop a processing pipeline from these DICOM files into DtiStudio and then manual ROI and Landmarker. 
The three file folders are 100-318, 134-104, and 152-302
They are up on Godzilla fileserver: /kki/g2/aimanba1

I'll give a call to Dr. Mori about this and other matters this week.

Thank you for your time and consideration,
Sincerely yours,
Anuar Imanbayev
