Dear List,

I am having some trouble with the dicom conversion to nii in spm5.  I have 11 datasets with both
structural and functional data, and the dicom tool fails to convert the structural scans in 6 of my 
datasets.  The functionals always convert fine.  I get two varieties of error messages, but they
always start with this: 

Reference to non-existent field 'CSAImageHeaderInfo'. 

Full error messages are pasted below.  I see from the archives that other people have had some
trouble with the dicom tool, but none with this specific problem.  I'm running spm5 with all the
updates in Matlab7 R14 on a Windows XP computer.  The data is from a 3T Siemens Trio scanner.  Any
thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Catherine Warrier
