How to read DICOM header

Many free software programs are available to read dicom images and header. At CFMRI, we use dicom_hdr (AFNI) or dicom_info(Matlab). 

• dicom_hdr: AFNI needs to be installed in order to use dicom_hdr command. AFNI is on all the servers at CFMRI. 
• dicom_info: MATLAB is required to use this tool.
