Re: [Freesurfer] mri_convert slope scale
Yes, (2005,100d) is the philips MRI intercept tag. it is zero in all of our scans unfortunately they are using private tags for philips MR. the 28,1052/1053 are the public tags, which their PET thankfully uses... but for the MR they are empty. I'm using bash, so i did export FS_SLICE_LIN_SCALE=1, but there was no change in the output, still only seeing raw DICOM values. (also, slope scale did not copy into the header, either behavior would be desireable) One more thing, the slope scale for Philips MRI, 2005,100e is actually an inverse slope scale, i.e., for accurate quantitative analysis, the images must be divided by the value in the slope scale header we are under the impression this is an issue unique to Philips MRI images. See https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3998685/ for more info.

Re: [Freesurfer] mri_convert slope scale
Try converting the PET after setting this env var setenv FS_SLICE_LIN_SCALE 1 This causes mri_convert to read 28,1052 (intercept) and 28,1053 (slope). the output value should be dicomvalue*slope + intercept Is 2005,100e accompanied by an intercept ?

Re: [Freesurfer] mri_convert slope scale
(2005,100e) for MRI (Philips) (0028,1053) for PET (Philips) I understand the PET may not be intended to work, but it doesn't seem to be copying over or applying the scale for either modality.

Re: [Freesurfer] mri_convert slope scale
As far as I can tell, mri_convert doesn't apply the scaling factor, and also doesn't copy over the slope scale header entry, when converting from dicom to nifti. By contrast, dcm2nii does not apply the scale either, however, it copies over the slope scale header entry, enabling other software (eg Freeview..) to apply the scaling.. Hope this clarifies.

Re: [Freesurfer] mri_convert slope scale
Doug, Can you verify? The dicom and mri_covnert .nii are identical (integer values, as per dicom convention) when we inspect the matrix in MATLAB. The img matrices for mri_convert and dcm2nii are also identical, the difference appears to be that dcm2nii retains the slope scale in the header, allowing the viewer (freeview, pmod, etc..) to apply it. We have been trying to nail down this issue for the last couple days, any insight would be appreciated.
