Hello,
I'm trying to convert some Philips data in PAR/REC format with dcm2niix, but I get this error:

Do you have any ideas of what could be wrong? The conversion works fine with the older version of the software (dcm2nii), but it could be nice if I could use the same tool for all my data.

Best,
Kasper

Kasper-
 1.) Can you tell me the version of dcm2niix you are using (e.g. 28Aug2016) and the operating system (e.g. OSX, Windows, Linux)?
 2.) Can you check to see if the problem still exists with the latest version (28Aug2016, available on GitHub).
 3.) If the above do not fix your problem, can you email me a link to an example. I do not have a Philips scanner near me.

Hi Chris,
I was using an old version (24Nov2014). Updating to the newest version (28Aug2016) did actually solve the problem. 

Thanks for your suggestion!

Best,
Kasper
