Use this skill whenever the user wants to convert NIfTI files (.nii or .nii.gz) to DICOM format, create DICOM series from processed neuroimaging results, write segmentation/registration/analysis outputs back to DICOM for PACS compatibility or clinical viewer comparison, or transfer metadata from reference DICOM files. Triggers include: mentions of 'NIfTI to DICOM', 'nii to dcm', 'convert nii.gz to DICOM', 'dicomify segmentation', 'nii2dcm', 'bring results back to DICOM', 'create DICOM from…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# NIfTI to DICOM conversion

## Overview

A NIfTI file (.nii/.nii.gz) is a compact format widely used in neuroimaging research, typically stripped of patient metadata.  
DICOM is the clinical standard for medical images, including rich metadata and interoperability with PACS/hospital systems.

This skill wraps `nii2dcm` (v0.1.6, May 2025) to convert NIfTI volumes into single-frame DICOM series (multi-slice 2D), primarily for MRI-derived data.  
It supports modality-specific metadata (MR, SVR) and optional metadata transfer from a reference DICOM file.

**Research use only** — not certified for clinical diagnosis, treatment, or patient care.

## Quick Reference

| Task                          | Approach / Command Flag                  |
|-------------------------------|------------------------------------------|
| Basic conversion (generic)    | `nii2dcm input.nii.gz output_dir/`       |
| MRI multi-slice series        | `--dicom-type MR` or `-d MR`             |
| SVR (3D swept volume recon)   | `--dicom-type SVR` or `-d SVR`           |
| Copy patient/study metadata   | `--ref-dicom ref.dcm` or `-r ref.dcm`    |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add cuhk-aim-group/neurodiscovery/nii2dcm@sha256:2d06e9d6e1880ade

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260506.86420c0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
