Hi Mateo, Sorry, I’m confused by your question.
Can you try to rerun mri_convert by passing it additional flag ‘--rescale-dicom’, or setting environment variable FS_RESCALE_DICOM to 1? Hope that will solve your problem. Repost your question in a different thread is a good idea since it is a different problem now.

I’m little confused about the value ranges you saw. We map DT_SIGNED_SHORT (-32766~32766) to signed short. mri_info should give ‘type: SHORT (4)’. In Freesurfer 7.2, we don’t support DT_UINT16. We map DT_UINT16 (0~65535) to signed short. You will see value maxed at 32766 for DT_UINT16. Is this what you were experiencing?

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 !!!

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.

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 ?

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.
