Maybe Mango can do this, but I don't see an obvious way. There is a Mango discussion forum on the Mango website, you might ask for help there. But if I were going to do this, I would do it in Matlab. To create dicom files in Matlab, you need the image processing toolbox. Then you can just read in the nifti file and write the dicom files as you like.

I opened file info. There is no label such as
Image dimension in header section. In summary there is
one.
Image Dimensions (X, Y, Z): 512 x 512 x 150
Regards
Image Dimensions (X, Y, Z): 512 x 512 x 150
