RE: Cannot extract signle 3D volumes from generated 4D file
Given it is MRI scans, I strongly suspect this is a rounding error
in the originating Philips DICOM dataset. It is unfortunate, but
the use of ASCII text with only a few decimal places make rounding
errors common when images are acquired with a rotation relative to
the scanner bore. In this case, dcm2niix faithfully reports that
values reported by the DICOM header, and there is no perfect way to
store this as a QForm. If I am correct, this reflects a limitation
of the DICOM format, and Philips use of very low precision for the
spatial coordinates. Since the warning does not reveal the
magnitude of the error, you may want to visually inspect the data
to ensure all is well. You may also want to contact your Philips
research collaboration manager and lobby them to store spatial
coordinates with more precision. In practice, with the subsequent
non-linear normalization I doubt these tiny rounding errors have
any influence, as the registration algorithms will find the same
minima regardless of tiny difference in starting estimates.
