Hello,
I am having issues with GE files, I don’t know how to properly work with them.
I have a folder for a T1 session with hundreds of GE files. I managed to convert them one by one to NIfTI but I think that they might be somehow merged all together to create a final T1 image, because I can’t find any difference between the generated NIfTI images. Is there a way to do that? I will need a T1 image in DICOM or NIfTI if it is possible…
Thank you !
Yes, but as the format is not DICOM I get the following error:
Chris Rorden’s dcm2niiX version v1.0.20180306 GCC5.4.0 (64-bit Linux)
Error: Unable to find any DICOM images in FOLDER
Do you know the format of your images? Before DICOM, GE saved data as Signa format

I have not seen these for a decade or so, but for an old archival study you would want to try dcm2nii, which did handle these files. Do be careful that the spatial orientation is converted correctly - these images predate the NIfTI standard.

dcm2nii works!
thank you so much for your help
I also have the same question about reading GE format MRI slices and converting them into 3D nii scans. How did you solve it
@Jack_Yang can you provide more details regarding your issue. Providign diagnostics (outputs from dcm2niix) or a concrete example would allow others to replicate your situation and provide an informed response.
You should be able to install the latest version of dcm2niix with pip and then simply provide the path to your DICOM format images from a GE scanner:
pip install dcm2niix
dcm2niix /path/to/DICOMs
