NAME
dcm2niix - DICOM to NifTI converter
SYNOPSIS
dcm2niix [options] <sourcedir>
DESCRIPTION
Most medical imaging devices save images in some variation of the popular DICOM format. However, most
scientific tools expect medical images to be stored in the comparatively simpler NIfTI format. dcm2niix
is designed to perform such conversion from DICOM to NIfTI with a simple command-line interface.
Please be advised that dcm2niix has been developed for research purposes only and should not be
considered a clinical tool.
OPTIONS
-b <y/n>
Save additional BIDS metadata to a side-car .json file.
-f <format>
Format string for the output filename(s). The following specifiers are supported:
• %a, antenna (coil) number
• %c, comments
• %d, description
• %e, echo number
• %f, folder name
• %i, patient ID
• %m, manufacturer
• %n, patient name
• %p, protocol
• %s, series number
• %t, time
• %u, acquisition number
• %z, sequence name.
The default format string is "%p_%e_%4s".
-m <y/n>
Merge slices from the same series regardless of study time, echo, coil, orientation, etc...
-o <path>
Output directory where the converted files should be saved. If unspecified, the files are saved
within the specified source directory.
-s <y/n>
Convert a single file only.
-t <y/n>
Save patient details.
-v <h/y/n>
