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. Unlike other conversion tools, it can import a DICOM file that is used to import the patient and study DICOM tags, and allows you to edit the accession number and other DICOM tags, in order to create a valid DICOM that can be imported in a PACS.

USAGE:
