Module Description
This module converts diffusion weighted MR images in dicom series into Nrrd format for analysis in Slicer. This program has been tested on only a limited subset of DTI dicom formats available from Siemens, GE, and Phillips scanners. It does not yet support dicom multi-frame data. The program parses dicom header to extract necessary information about measurement frame, diffusion weighting directions, b-values, etc, and write out a nrrd image.
Usage
./DicomToNrrdConverter --help USAGE: d:\Builds\Slicer3\lib\Slicer3\Plugins\Release\DicomToNrrdConverter.exe [--processinformationaddress <std::string>] [--xml] [--echo] [--] [--version] [-h] <std::string> <std::string> Where: --processinformationaddress <std::string> Address of a structure to store process information (progress, abort, etc.). (default: 0) --xml Produce xml description of command line arguments (default: 0) --echo Echo the command line arguments (default: 0) --, --ignore_rest Ignores the rest of the labeled arguments following this flag. --version Displays version information and exits. -h, --help Displays usage information and exits. <std::string> (required) Directory holding Dicom series <std::string> (required) Nrrd header file name Description: Converts diffusion weighted MR images in dicom series into Nrrd format.
