dcm2niix is a command-line tool that converts neuroimaging data from the DICOM format to the NIfTI format, including generation of BIDS-compatible JSON sidecar files. It is written in C++ with no external dependencies and also provides a JavaScript/WebAssembly build.
Use cases
- convert dicom files to nifti
- prepare mri data for bids format
- extract dicom metadata to json sidecar
- batch convert medical imaging data
- decompress compressed dicom images
- convert mri scans for fsl/afni/spm analysis
When to choose
- you need a fast, dependency-free DICOM to NIfTI converter
- you are curating neuroimaging data for BIDS compliance
- you work with MRI data from multiple scanner vendors
- you need reproducible command-line conversion in a processing pipeline
When to avoid
- you need a graphical DICOM viewer rather than a converter
- you work with non-medical image formats
- you need full DICOM archive manipulation beyond format conversion
