[Mristudio-users] Using processed data

Wed Dec 16 20:46:40 EST 2009

Hi Mark,

Please try Philips REC format. This is a 4D raw format with integer. For
both "raw" and "Philips REC", DtiStudio expect you to have 4D raw
(no-header) file, not a bunch of 3D files. In your case, you need a single
raw file that contains all 65 volume data (65 x 96 x 128 x 47) in one file.

For this conversion, you can read 4D Nifty or 4D analyze (depending on the
version of DtiStudio) by MriView3D and save all the images at once as a
"raw" format. Then, the images are ready for DtiMapping. In DtiMapping, as I
mentioned, open it as Philips REC. In the opening window, specify;

96x128x47

Then you should get "65" as the number of the 3D images correctly calculated
from the file size at the left bottom of the window. Also choose
gradient-by-gradient for the order of the file. If you have a correct table
with 65 lines, you should not get the error message.

If you have the 4D analyze file, the *.img file of the Analyze format can
also be directly read as "Philips REC". However, you have to be careful
because if the Analyze is in Neurology convention (default setup) and read
the *.img as "Philips REC", the images may be inverted because DtiStudio
uses Radiology convention.

I hope it helps.
