SPM realign crashes for newer ADNI cases #877

I have some troubles processing newer ADNI cases. This is quite troublesome for me, since I'm trying to process everything using v1.8.0 and I'm really not sure if we can fix this without a bugfix 😢

This example right here is a case from 2018. It only seems to happen for Siemens datasets with 10 control/label pairs. It's a 3D PASL sequence and you get those typical MOSAIC DICOMs. Everything up to the ExploreASL module works perfectly.

3D_GRASE sequence detected
No TopUp scans available, skipping...
Automatic alignment with center of mass: to XYZ:375 434 1

    * - SPM12: spm_realign  --------------------------------------------

        There is not enough overlap in the images to obtain a solution.
         
        Offending image:
        ...\Process_ADNI_3\output\020_S_6358\derivatives\ExploreASL\sub-020S6358\ASL_1\ASL4D.nii
         
        Please check that your header information is OK.
        The Check Reg utility will show you the initial
        alignment between the images, which must be
        within about 4cm and about 15 degrees in order
        for SPM to find the optimal solution.

ERROR: ASL module terminated for subject 1: sub-020S6358

ans =
    'Error using spm_realign line 525
     Insufficient image overlap.
     Error in realign_series line 342

I'm running it using the following settings:

{"x":
    {
    "dataset":
    {
        "name":"020_S_6358"
    },
    "Q":
    {
        "M0":"UseControlAsM0",
        "readoutDim":"3D",
        "Sequence":"3D_GRASE"
    },
    "settings":
    {
        "Quality":1
    }
    }
}

I saw that in 5 different subjects so far, but there are probably more. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug @jan-petr ?

Edit: problem seems to be in dcm2niix, resulting ASL4D.nii.gz is in MOSAIC data format.
