Uses Chris Rorden's dcm2nii from http://www.mccauslandcenter.sc.edu/mricro/mricron/dcm2nii.html to convert DICOM files to NIfTI format. Should Need run install_dcm2nii before running.

dcm2nii(basedir = ".", files = NULL, copy_files = TRUE,
  progdir = system.file(package = "dcm2niir"), verbose = TRUE,
  dcm2niicmd = c("dcm2niix", "dcm2nii_2009", "dcm2nii"),
  merge_files = FALSE, ignore_derived = FALSE, unzip_files = TRUE,
  opts = paste0("-9 ", ifelse(ignore_derived, "-i y ", ""),
  ifelse(merge_files, " -m y ", ""), paste0(" -v ", as.numeric(verbose)),
  " -z y -f %p_%t_%s"), ...)

dcm2nii_par_rec(file = list.files(pattern = "[.](par|PAR)"),
  copy_files = TRUE, verbose = TRUE, ...)

dcm2nii_bids_sidecar(basedir, progdir = system.file(package =
  "dcm2niir"), dcm2niicmd = c("dcm2niix", "dcm2nii_2009", "dcm2nii"),
  ...)

fix_sidecar(file)

Arguments

basedir

(character) directory to get files

files

(character) vector of files to segment. Will override basedir if used

copy_files

(logical) Should files be copied to a temporary directory?

progdir

(character) directory of bash scripts, no user input needed unless binaries were installed elsewhere. Passed to dcm2nii_bin.

verbose

(logical) print diagnostic printouts

dcm2niicmd

(character) either "dcm2niix", "dcm2nii", or "dcm2nii_2009", which are different versions of dcm2nii. Passed to dcm2nii_bin.

merge_files

Should files be merged, passed do dcm2nii options

ignore_derived

Should derived images be ignored, passed do dcm2nii options

unzip_files

if TRUE, any file with .gz extension will be unzipped

opts

list of arguments to pass to dcm2nii.

...

arguments to be passed to system

file

A Par/REC file

Value

List of result of system command, names of files before and after conversion
