Also, I checked and none of the constituent DICOM files have any other Slice Thickness in their header except 0.35.
This is the correct behavior. The DICOM field tells you the width of the slab being excited, the Nifti header tells you the spacing between adjacent slices (calculated from ImagePositionPatient).
Many thanks for clarifying this!
So is the spacing in the NifTi header the distance from voxel midpoint to voxel midpoint, or from voxel edge to voxel edge?
Also, any idea what the other numbers are in ImagePositionPatient
?
('ImagePositionPatient', [9.13285125, -6.084546948, 0.3556192147])

Hi, I presently trying to stack a number of DICOM files to a NifTi with the help of dcmstack.
In the NifTi header I get the following section (as read with AFNI's 3dinfo):
Or, in plain text:
This is what I see in the headers of the DICOM files from which I perform the conversion:
Any ideas why dcmstack reads the x and y resolutions correctly, but not the z? Does it try to compute it maybe from something else?
