dcm2niix to create 4D data based on single slice DICOMs
Dear expert,
DICOMs of our 4D functional MRI scans are mostly stored as single slice DICOM files. When using these single slice DICOM files as input for dcm2niix, I get NIFTIs of each dynamic seperately. However, for processing purposes, I would like to get a 4D NIFTI with all dynamics. Adding option -m seems to do the trick:
dcm2niix -o outputfolder -m y inputfolder
However, I'm wondering if this is the best approach, since this function seems to force a merge and the merge is meant for 2D slices (and not necessarily 3D data; based on the description of the -m option)
Kind regards and thank you in advance for the assistance,
Manon
