Dcm2nii

biotender-max/dcm2nii

Use this skill whenever the user wants to convert DICOM files or folders to NIfTI format (.nii or .nii.gz), extract neuroimaging volumes from clinical DICOM series (MRI, CT, PET, etc.), prepare raw DICOM data for research processing pipelines, anonymize while converting, or batch-convert multiple series/studies. Triggers include: 'DICOM to NIfTI', 'dcm to nii', 'convert dicom to nii.gz', 'dcm2niix', 'extract nii from dicom', 'batch dicom to nifti', 'prepare dicom for freesurfer/fsl/spm', 'anonymized nifti conversion', or any request to transform clinical DICOM data into analysis-ready NIfTI format while preserving orientation, voxel spacing, slice timing (when available), and important metadata in the JSON sidecar.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take biotender-max/dcm2nii from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference pip, docker. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
