Hi Michael,
as others have already suggested, export of your date to the so-called PAR-REC
(Philips research file format) file format is one way. At times it may be
even preferable, because in the PAR file, which is a simple ASCII text file,
you can get the gradient diffusion table for free.
Regarding your troubles with the Achieva DICOM files, I would guess they could
be related to the conformance of Achieva architecture to the very recent
DICOM standards. I think it is by default that Achieva exports DICOM images
in the "MULTIFRAME format". This means that you would not find 2040 files in
your 32 (+ b0 + ADC-weighted) directions and 60 slices DTI study, but instead
they would be stored in ONE single file.
You don't write how you get the images on a computer with MRIcro, so it is a
bit hard to speculate exactly, what could be the problem. If you prefer to
work with DICOMs, I would be happy to assist you to locate the problem.
