Download to a windows machine to run locally. To start on the linux systems, use:

{{{
startmricro &
}}}
or, for MRIcron,

{{{
mricron &
}}}
(the '&' at the end has the effect of returning you to the terminal where you typed the command rather than leaving it hanging until MriCro closes)

MRIcron is located in /imaging/local/linux/bin/mricron.

== Using DCM2NII ==
This is a nice little tool, part of MRICroN, that allows you to do several things, in particular it allows you to transform a bunch of DICOM files into a series of 3D NIFTI images (if you are an SPM user) or one 4D NIFTI file (if you are an FSL user).

you can either use it from the command-line (type dcm2nii to get the full help), or as a GUI:

{{{
> dcm2nii
> dcm2nii_gui &
}}}
For example, say you ran a study and have a bunch of CBU EPI runs. The following command will turn each DICOM run into one 4D nii.gz file you can feed into the FSL analysis:

{{{
dcm2nii -g y -o /imaging/destinationpath /mridata/cbu/CBUSession_*/*/*_CBU_EPI_*
}}}
NOTE: the g option makes the output a nii.gz (as opposed to a nii) file, which is absolutely recommended!
