dcm2niix fails for Philips PAR/REC to Nifti conversion (only BOLD-fMRI files)

[lukassnoek]

Hi!

I noticed that dcm2niix fails to convert Philips PAR/REC files to Nifti in the latest release (v1.0.20171215). There is no error message apart from Done reading PAR header version 4.2, with 1 volumes (see image below).

I've did some testing and it only seems to occur for BOLD-fMRI files, but not for T1-weighted images or fieldmaps (based on phase-difference images). Also, the problem is still present in the master-version on Github (compiled on Ubuntu 16.04), but not in the version from December 8, 2017 (v1.0.20171204).

I've prepared a 'minimal dataset' (a fieldmap scan and BOLD-fMRI scan) with PAR/REC files on which dcm2niix fails - this may be helpful in debugging? If so, to which email-address should I send the download link?

Let me know if you need more information and thanks for the effort!

Should be fixed in v1.0.20180325. @lukassnoek can you please test and report if any issues linger.

Thanks for fixing this @neurolabusc! Works like a charm (also works fine with Philips enhanced DICOM).
