Q: Hello, I’ve had a request from a researcher who would like to scan a patient at our (PET) facilities but this patient cannot have a MRI (he has a clip) - hence he would have a CT (at the MNI presumably or from another facility)

a few questions …

Has anyone out there converted CT to minc ? I’ve never worked or played with CT images before but chances are that some of our in house Dicom-to-minc converters could do the work.

Has anyone done PET transmission to CT registration ?

thanks in advance

A: I’ve worked with CT images in minc format. I’m pretty sure that dicom3_to_minc worked robustly, but I have not tried dcm2mnc recently with these data sets.

I have not worked with PET however. Not sure if this helps in any way.
