💖 NIFTI2DICOM 💖

okay bestie, so this is nifti2dicom(1), a User Commands manual page, and it's genuinely iconic. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

nifti2dicom — convert 3D medical images to DICOM 2D series 🧚

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Nifti2Dicom is a conversion tool that converts 3D NIfTI files (and other formats supported by ITK) to DICOM. no cap.

the way that this one is different from every other conversion tool out there?? it can import a DICOM file that is used to import the patient and study DICOM tags, and it lets you edit the accession number and other DICOM tags, so you can create a valid DICOM that can actually be imported in a PACS. lowkey main character energy 💅
