I indeed wish to save the NIfTI as an MR-modality DICOM.
I came across an online converter tool but am unsure of its integrity or accuracy w.r.t. the results I am getting. I ran it on a nifti file based on 53 b-values and got 53 folders with various numbers of dicoms in each (I think the reason for this is that they are enhanced dicoms with many slices per dicoms in the first place). Anyway, as you mentioned, DICOM is a complex standard.
This is the online converter tool (https://www.onlineconverter.com/nifti-to...), if you have any thoughts on it, I would be glad to know them.
Thank you!
If you want to
convert a NIfTI image to a generic DICOM (with the 'OT' other
modality) you could try a tool like
https://github.com/biolab-unige/nifti2dicom
If you want to save a NIfTI as a 'MR' modality DICOM, it will be tricky as there are required (type 1) DICOM elements that are not stored in the NIfTI. You will also want to ensure that proper unique IDs are created.
Different manufacturers interpret DICOM differently, and it is a very complex standard. It is easy to create DICOMs that are supported by many tools, but hard to ensure it will be supported by all DICOM conformant tools.
