Closed junxiant closed 1 year ago

junxiant commented 1 year ago

Hello,

I am trying to convert .nii files into dicoms file and i ran the code using 

nii2dcm {path_to_.nii} {output_dir}

But the output files in the output_dir are not in .dcm format/with no .dcm extensions

eg. image

Apologies for the slow reply!

Those should in fact be DICOM files, but the .dcm extension is missing. You can confirm by opening them in a tool such as ITK Snap, 3D Slicer, etc. Alternatively, you could use PyDicom or DCMTK and examine the headers of the files to confirm.

Ah then the quick fix would be to just add the .dcm extension in the code too, thanks

@junxiant – it's quite common in medical imaging software for the .dcm suffix to be omitted. But I agree, it would be good to have an option to save with/without the suffix.

Thanks for raising (and closing) issue :)
