Hi,

The first step (converting DICOM to NIFTI) run well but my nii.gz files in the work folder got the complete name of the subject as ID. How can I change this by an specific ID code?

Thanks! Best,

Hi @CatalinaTLl. bidskit uses the folder names at the first level of the sourcedata folder as subject IDs. If your original DICOM data is exported from (eg) a PACs system you might be able to deidentify the subject ID at export. Otherwise you can rename the sourcedata/* folders using a deidentification key. Typical practice at research sites like ours is to generate deidentified subject IDs prior to MR scanning and use those for registration at the console.
