BIDS: From DICOM via NIfTI

Standards Standards are good. Open standards are even better as they give everyone access to the information required to build solutions without barriers. Open standards also help prevent single entities from controlling access or dominating the landscape due to proprietary knowledge or similar. Formats DICOM is a standard that has been around since the mid-80s. …
