Hi Jesse,

The DTI images are not stored in a way such that unpacksdcmdir can do a proper error check and so it displays an error.

I think you can ignore the error.

I've noticed that an error is consistently reported in the unpack log file
when I unpack dti scans for any subject:

INFO: this run has an error, but trying anyway

For example, if I try to unpack the dti scan for subject RMCON032, whose
data is in
/space/archive/216/siemens/TrioTim-35006-20090508-140454-440000, the
dcmdir-info output is:

<snip>

And I enter the command:
unpacksdcmdir -src . -targ $SUBJECTS_DIR/RMCON032 -run 24 dti_test nii
f.nii -fsfast -log dti_test.log

The unpack.log file contained the warnings and errors below (Also: I
expected the log filed to be named dti_test.log so it wouldn't overwrite
the unpack.log file I already had for the subject, but instead it was
saved as unpack.log, overwriting the preexisting unpack.log)

WARNING: Run 24 appears to be truncated

Run 24 -----------------------------------------
Thu May 21 10:37:42 EDT 2009
24 dti_test nii f.nii
INFO: this run has an error, but trying anyway

RunNo = 23

Are the dti scans I unpacked usable, or do I need to change my unpack
command?

Thanks,
Jesse
