Remove reference to dicm2nii altogether
links checker started to fail, and I see ❯ wget -S https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/42997-xiangruili-dicm2nii --2025-05-21 16:18:06-- https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/42997-xiangruili-dicm2nii Resolving www.mathworks.com (www.mathworks.com)... 23.197.176.176 Connecting to www.mathworks.com (www.mathworks.com)|23.197.176.176|:443... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable and in the browser I see "no healthy upstream" for that URL. https://github.com/xiangruili/dicm2nii was indeed last updated 9 months ago and overall IMHO just a very basic (no unittests etc) project. I think standard should not promote/point to tools which are not developed with active participation in the project. dcm2niix is actively developed in sync and participation in BIDS, so IMHO worth leaving in.
