I’ve tried DWIConvert. On the DICOM DVD I had my data in 7 subfolders.

- When I specified the parent folder, the import failed (no files in the parent folder).
- Then I copied all files into a single folder and tried to import that. I got `LoadFromDisk not relevant` error.
- After that I tried each of the 7 directories one by one. Import failed with the same message as above (`LoadFromDisk not relevant`).

```
Diffusion-weighted DICOM Import (DWIConvert) standard error:

Exception creating converter 
itk::ExceptionObject (00000070D358D430)
Location: "unknown" 
File: D:\D\P\Slicer-481-package\BRAINSTools\DWIConvert\GenericDWIConverter.cxx
Line: 13
Description: itk::ERROR: LoadFromDisk not relevant
```

These may be all user errors, I just could not figure out how to use this module.

Fortunately, this data set was anonymized and made available publicly, so you can try to import it, too: [https://1drv.ms/f/s!Arm\_AFxB9yqHsOArBhZiJ2HPqRA9Cg](https://1drv.ms/f/s!Arm_AFxB9yqHsOArBhZiJ2HPqRA9Cg)
