Plugin for Siemens ima Files

Hello,

Is there a plugin available to open Siemens MRI .ima files in Imagej?

Zimmerman, Robert Edward,M.S.

Re: Plugin for Siemens ima Files

These are probably DICOM files and should open OK. You can also download some
DICOM plugins that may give added functionality.

Thank you Bob for your reply.

When I try 'Import->Image Sequence' I get a dialog box saying "This folder does not appear to contain any ..., DICOM, ... files." I installed the 'Import DICOM Sequence' plugin, and I see the same message.

So, it appears that the .ima files are not/can not be treated as DICOM files, at least in these cases.

Any other ideas?

Grant and others:

We have been opening and/or importing .IMA files for years, with
absolutely no problem. We do that normally on a Mac, and I have heard
nobody from our group having problems on other platforms. I never saw
the message you list below.

Grant
What model scanner are you getting these files from?
I suspect its a VISION or IMPACT. in which case these may be
SPI files or the internal Siemens fromat both described on David
CLunies Web site

I have a VISION and can do some test for you.
Its always easier to get the scanner to export DICOM format files

Thank you for your reply.

The message I see is in 1.37v on Windows XP Pro SP2. On my Linux
machine (2.6.17, Kubuntu), I don't have the plugin installed, but when I
try to open a single .ima file, a similar message appears (ie, ~
not ..., DICOM, ...).

Thank you for your reply.

Yes, the original data comes from a VISION scanner. However, the files
I want to open are then post-processed in another software package that
outputs the ima format. So even access to the original DICOMs would not
help me here.

However, I looked at the web site you mentioned and was able to open a
sequence of ima file using: File->Import->Raw [big endian; 16bit
unsigned;offset to first image: 6144; open all files in folder]. It
seems to work OK - I will take a closer look at the images to be sure.

Thank you for your help!

Re: Plugin for Siemens ima Files

I know this topic is a bit old. But I have a similar question and it is more about the software rather than the IMA format. Would the scanner have an option to burn the images in a dcm format, is that something that is possible to be selected when you are burning images?

Thanks in advance in those that would reply.

In reply to this post by Greg Brown-6

Is there a plug-in to open .IMA Files/slices as a stack?

Or how can i makes sure the images in the stack are in order if i use Image->Stacks->Images to Stacks?
