External Email - Use Caution        

Hi, 

Thanks! 
It works I guess. 
I didn't manage to use setenv in the command line before using mri_convert 
(command not found) 

But I did the following modifications and mri_convert works now (it doesn't put 
the error message anymore and I have the nifti file at the end) : 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Opening ubuntu 

> $cd then > $ nano .bashrc 

And I write just before the source /path/freesurfer/7.2.0/SetUpFreeSurfer.sh 
the line : export FS_LOAD_DWI=0 

Then I change the directory to freesurfer : > $ cd /path//freesurfer/7.2.0 and 
open the csh : > $nano SetUpFreeSurfer.csh 
I add setenv FS_LOAD_DWI before the line source 
$FREESURFER_HOME/FreeSurferEnv.csh 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
I suppose this locks the DWI to zero and I need to remodify it if one day I 
want to use Diffusion data. 

So mri_convert for Bruker data now works. The last problem (and I might create 
an other post) is that negative values were not kept. When I compared phase 
imagec converted in nifti with 3D slicer and phase image converted in nifti 
with mri_convert, 3D slicer's nifti have values ranging from - 32 766 to 32 766 
while mri_convert's nifti only have values ranging from 0 to 32 767. 

How can I set mri_convert to convert values in signed- 16 bits ? 

Thank you for your previous answer !!! 

Best Regards, 

Mateo

I’m assuming you didn’t source .bashrc after editing it. 



You can actually set it on the command line before submitting mri_convert. So, 
the setting only affect that window. You can use echo $FS_LOAD_DWI to verify 
the setting. 



Here is an example for csh: 



>echo $FS_LOAD_DWI 

FS_LOAD_DWI: Undefined variable. 

>setenv FS_LOAD_DWI 0 

>echo $FS_LOAD_DWI 

0 

>mri_convert … 



I’m hoping it will solve your problem by setting the environment variable. 



Best, 



Yujing

Thank you for your answer. 





Even though I don't need the DTI values, I can't avoid this message : 




"ERROR: the number of frames * number of slices does not equal the number of 
dicom files." 



I'm not very familiar with Ubuntu too so I might have made a mistake : 





I try to set the environnement variable ‘ export FS_LOAD_DWI = 0 ’ in bash (I 
use the command $cd then $nano .bashrc and write after 

export FS_LICENSE=/home/jeanmri/license.txt 

export FREESURFER_HOME=/home/jeanmri/freesurfer/7.2.0 

the line export FS_LOAD_DWI = 0 ) 





Then I open with nano the FreeSurferEnv.csh and add setenv FS_LOAD_DWI 0 at the 
end but when I use mri_convert on my bruker dicom files, the same error 
reappeared. 





Did I miss something ? 






Best Regards, 






Mateo

Hi Mateo, 



It looks like mri_convert terminated prematurely when you tried to convert 
those 512 dicom files. 



Those error messages are printed when mri_convert wasn’t able to retrieve DTI 
information from dicom. If you don’t need the DTI values, you can ignore those 
error messages. 



Also, looking at the codes, I think if you set environment variable FS_LOAD_DWI 
to 0 before running mri_convert, it should finish convert all 512 dicom files. 
To set the environment variable, you do ‘export FS_LOAD_DWI = 0’ in bash, and 
‘setenv FS_LOAD_DWI 0’ in csh. 



Can you give it a try? 



Thanks. 



Yujing

Subject: [Freesurfer] Mri Convert Bruker MGRE files dicom to nii error 




External Email - Use Caution 


Hello FreeSurfer Developers 





I hope i don't spam, if anyone has a clue... 








I need to convert 512 dicom files from Bruker into .nii . I firstly add .dcm to 
my Bruker multi gradient echo phase files then enter the following command : 


mri_convert MRIm001.dcm phaseMGE.nii 





Here is the first message : 





reading from MRIm001.dcm... 


Starting DICOMRead2() 


dcmfile = 
/mnt/c/Users/Sahadatou/Documents/Stage_JEAN_2022/data/fantomes/tests/bug_test2/MRIm001.dcm
 


dcmdir =

ERROR: don't know how to get DWI parameters from --Bruker BioSpin MRI GmbH -- 


ERROR: GetDICOMInfo(): dcmGetDWIParams() 1 





Then 508 error messages like the three last lines appear. 


It ends with : 





First Sorting 


Computing Slice Direction 


Vs: 0 0 1 


Vs: 0 0 1 


Second Sorting 


IsDWI = 0, IsPhilipsDWI = 0 


Counting frames 


nframes = 8 


nslices = 63 


ndcmfiles = 508 


ERROR: the number of frames * number of slices does 


not equal the number of dicom files. 





I did a test with only 448 files (I just copy-paste the first 448 files = 7 TE 
* 64 slices) and I obtained the same error messages but the nifti files are 
created and seem usable (quick test with Fiji). Here are the last lines : 





First Sorting

j_ras = (-0, -1, 0) 


k_ras = (-0, -0, 1) 


writing to phaseMGR.nii... 


Saving bvals and bvecs 





I'm pretty new with mri convert and I don't understand why it stops converting 
to nii with 512 files (8 TE) but not 448 files for Brucker files.

Mateo
