Just to feed back on this: assuming enhanced DICOM refers to the new multiframe DICOM standard, then it _should_ work out of the box ([since 2013](https://github.com/MRtrix3/mrtrix3/commit/4e05649d1)). There are suggestions that it’s all OK on the forum ([here](https://community.mrtrix.org/t/trouble-with-opening-a-dicom-file-from-siemens-vida/1569/4), [here](https://community.mrtrix.org/t/good-b-value-sensitivity-parameter-for-2shell/1770/20) and [here](https://community.mrtrix.org/t/omitted-axis-4-error-in-dwipreproc-of-siemens-vida-xa11a-data/2019/8)), but nothing conclusive (I can’t tell whether the enhanced format was used for these). But as @rsmith says, if there are issues, we’d be keen to get them fixed ASAP – as long as you’re happy to send us the data for us to investigate.
