Thank you, Michael. I appreciate your help. Just for reference, these DICOMs came from a Philips Ingenia 3T scanner, not a GE, but that is good to know.
Best,
Elian

Subject: RE: [SPM] problems converting DICOM to Nifti
I give a little more info. This message is common if you work with DICOM files coming from a GE scanner.
I confirm that you don't need to be too much worried about this message. SPM guess the order of each slice with the DICOM tag "Instance Number" (0020-0013). The guess is always correct if you convert all images of the sequence at the same time.
For more detail, see:

Dear Elian,
the second message is usually thrown when SPM finds a non-image dicom file. There are various DICOM files that do not carry image information, like ROI drawings, online statistics or online reports. Unless you are missing data after DICOM conversion you should not be too worried about this message.
The first message may be of the same origin - image data with an incomplete DICOM header that has been calculated at the scanner. However, it might also have other reasons. In order to find out which DICOM dataset causes this problem, you could try to run DICOM conversion separately for each run of a problematic subject. If the problem goes away when converting the data run by run, you have either entered data twice or your DICOM data are missing identification items that SPM needs to sort the data into 3D volumes.
Hope this helps
Volkmar
