in the field of radiology there are many ways to scan a part or even the whole body. i need to convert many medical dicom-files (> 100 layers) to one volume file to transfer a 3d-volume instead of 2d-data. one format is the .nrrd format used here:

xtk

i know there is slicer but is there another way to convert the files? did anybody come across this?

thanks in advance

you can use mri_convert from the freesurfer package.

http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/

Then, just do

mri_convert *.dcm output.mgz

and you get .MGZ format which XTK can read :)
