SPEC2NII-DICOM(1)

✨ spec2nii-dicom — the manual, but make it cute ✨

okay bestie, gather round 💖 this is spec2nii-dicom, part of the spec2nii family of user commands. Its whole thing? Converting from Siemens DICOM format. That's it, that's the job, and it does it beautifully. 🎀

💅 OPTIONS 💅

🫶 POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

• file — the file or directory you want converted. yeah, either one, she's flexible like that. 🦋

✨ OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS

• -h, --help — shows a help message and dips. classic. 💖
• -t TAG, --tag TAG — tells it which NIfTI MRS tag to use for the 5th dimension, but only when you're passing multiple files. defaults to DIM_DYN. 🏷️
• --voi — outputs the VOI as a single voxel NIfTI mask. one lil voxel, living her best life. 🎀
• -j, --json — creates a json sidecar. she's bringing a friend. 💜
• -f FILEOUT, --fileout FILEOUT — sets the output file base name (default = input file name). 🍓
• -o OUTDIR, --outdir OUTDIR — where the output goes (default = .). staying home, honestly relatable. 🏠
• --nifti1 — no description in the source, bestie, so I'm not gonna make one up. she's mysterious. 🙈
• --override_nucleus OVERRIDE_NUCLEUS [OVERRIDE_NUCLEUS ...] — overrides the ResonantNucleus field with your input(s). e.g. '2H'. ⚛️
• --override_frequency OVERRIDE_FREQUENCY [OVERRIDE_FREQUENCY ...] — overrides the SpectrometerFrequency field with your input(s). input is in MHz. 📻
• --override_dwelltime OVERRIDE_DWELLTIME — overrides the dwell time field with your input. input is in seconds. ⏱️
• --anon — creates a file with no sensitive metadata. and listen, if you want greater control over the anonymisation, go use spec2nii-anon(1) instead. 🕶️
• --verbose — no description in the source either, so we're keeping it a mystery. 💀
