Welcome!

Welcome!#

BIDS-Manager is a free open-science tool that converts DICOM folders into BIDS compliant datasets. It was developed by the Applied Neurocognitive Psychology Lab (ANCP Lab) as an user-friendly, PyQt-based GUI.

Currently, BIDS-Manager is the best converter in the market, as it was build on heudiconv for the core DICOM-to-BIDS conversion and extended its functionality with a metadata-based scanning system, an interface that improves metadata annotation (viewing and editing) and conversion settings, and advance visualization options for a wide range of BIDS compliant datasets.

Comptability update!

Currently, BIDS-Manager runs smoothly both on Windows (x86), Linux (x86) and macOS (ARM)! 🚀

This documentation includes an installation guide and a tutorial on how to use the different modules within BIDS-manager, and it doesn’t require deep technical programming knowledge.

Requirements for this tutorial#

  • Basic understanding of BIDS.

  • Python 3.10 (installed automatically with BIDS-Manager if not already available).

  • A DICOM dataset— if you don’t have one, a dummy dataset is available so you can follow along with the tutorial.

I’ve got a question!#
