## About

<span style="color:red;">**This fork is obsolete and archived please visit the [root repository](https://github.com/rordenlab/dcm2niix)** </span>


dcm2niix is designed to convert neuroimaging data from the DICOM format to the NIfTI format. This web page hosts the developmental source code - a compiled version for Linux, MacOS, and Windows of the most recent stable release is included with [MRIcroGL](https://www.nitrc.org/projects/mricrogl/). A full manual for this software is available in the form of a [NITRC wiki](http://www.nitrc.org/plugins/mwiki/index.php/dcm2nii:MainPage).

The DICOM format is the standard image format generated by modern medical imaging devices. However, DICOM is very [complicated](https://github.com/jonclayden/divest) and has been interpreted differently by different vendors. The NIfTI format is popular with scientists, it is very simple and explicit. However, this simplicity also imposes limitations (e.g. it demands equidistant slices). dcm2niix is also able to generate a [BIDS JSON format](https://bids-specification.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) `sidecar` which includes relevant information for brain scientists in a vendor agnostic and human readable form.
