Issue with Import of Post-op CT DICOM Files

[Diaz0188]

Hi,

I am having difficulties with one of the DICOM files that I am trying to import into Lead DBS. When I ‘Run’ the import and rename functions it imports the T1 and T2 files but not the CT (“Ignoring derived image(s) of series 3”). Below is the output I get in Matlab with the error. I have run many files with Lead DBS and have never experienced this error:

Importing DICOM files…

I can send you the anonymized DICOM files if you’d like.

Thank you so much for your time and I hope to hear from you soon.

Best,

Hi hi,

I fear we’re also no experts with dicom imports, best ask the question in the dcm2nii forums.
I assume you have tried importing with all three methods already (dcm2niix, dicm2nii and SPM)?
Most likely the DICOM file is corrupted.

Best, Andy
