Hello, I had posted this question earlier but no one picked it up so I am trying again. Briefly, I have been having difficulties with the very first step of the recon-all pipeline, namely, in conversion of my dicom datasets to freesurfer's mgz format. The error message (attached below) suggests that freesurfer is able to find the files correctly, but is unable to find the slice direction because it gets 'nan' for the variable Vs. This seems to result is problems with reslicing and program exits with errors. Has anyone encountered this issue ? The MR files themselves look fine when viewed in other viewers (note that this problem has now occurred with several different datasets). Would appreciate any input. Thanks, Hemant
