2. Data conversion

2.1. Data conversion: from DICOM (Bruker-Dicom) to NIfTI-1 format

Sammba-MRI allows to convert Bruker Paravision enhanced multiframe DICOM files to the standard NIfTI-1 format. Extensive information such as date is also extracted. Depends on the number of file to be converted, two options are available:

  • To convert a single file, we use

    io_conversions.dcm_to_nii('/usr/bin/dcmdump', Dicom_input, Saved_Nifti_dir)
    
  • To convert several files, we use

    io_conversions.recursive_dcm_to_nii('/usr/bin/dcmdump', session_dir, Saved_Nifti_dir)
