System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

NIfTI files (.nii/.nii.gz) are research-oriented and lack patient metadata, making direct comparison with clinical DICOM data difficult. This skill wraps nii2dcm to convert NIfTI volumes into single-frame DICOM series (multi-slice 2D) so researchers can audit, compare, and archive results in the same clinical data ecosystem. It also supports transferring metadata from a reference DICOM when needed, and handles modality-specific tags for MR and SVR.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Converts 3D NIfTI volumes to multi-slice DICOM series with optional MR/SVR tagging.
  • Copies or maps patient/study metadata from a reference DICOM to preserve provenance in clinical-style viewers.
  • Useful for QA, visualization, and archiving of results alongside original clinical data in research pipelines.

Quick Start

Run nii2dcm on a processed NIfTI file to produce a DICOM series in the specified output directory.
