This function scans a directory for files in DICOM format, and converts them to a single Analyze/NIfTI-format image of the appropriate dimensionality.
readDicomDirectory(dicomDir, method = c("internal", "divest"),
readDiffusionParams = FALSE, untileMosaics = TRUE, ...)
A list containing elements
An MriImage
object.
Diffusion b-values, if requested. Will be NA
if
the information could not be found in files.
Diffusion gradient vectors, if requested. Will be
NA
if the information could not be found in the files.
Character vector of length one giving the name of a directory containing DICOM files.
Character string specifying whether to use the internal DICOM
reading code or use the divest
package.
Logical value. Should diffusion MRI parameters (b-values and gradient directions) be retrieved from the files if possible?
Logical value. Should Siemens mosaic images be
converted into 3D volumes? This may occasionally be performed in error,
which can be prevented by setting this value to FALSE
.
Additional arguments to readDicom
, if the divest
method is used.
