You may have a version of SPM5 that assumes DICOM files have a “.dcm” extension.  See if the spm_config_dicom.m file (around line 12) says:

 

data.type   = 'files';

data.name   = 'DICOM files';

data.tag    = 'data';

data.filter = '.*';

data.num    = Inf;

data.help   = {'Select the DICOM files to convert.'};

 

If data.filter is set to ‘.*\.dcm$’ or something similar, then change it to ‘.*’

All

I have also been having a problem with the DICOM import feature of SPM5 (I have been using SPM2 to convert dicom to analyze format until I have had time to fix this). I use Matlab 7.01 and Windows XP.

When I click on the DICOM button, the select Dicom files windows appears. I then navigate to the folder where my dicom files are stored, but SPM 5 does not recognize that they are there. Does anyone have any suggestions?

 

Thanks Again,

It works. Thank you!
