Hi,
General question about converting DICOM data that has been exported as classic rather than enhanced DICOM.
I’ve been given some data that was acquired on a Siemens Prisma running XA30, I’m converting it using dcm2bids. The data are multi-echo functional, but we’ll deal with that later!
I’m getting the warning:
Warning: 4D Siemens XA images should be exported as enhanced not classic DICOM. Slice times and other properties may be inaccurate.
But without the option of jumping in a delorean/tardis I think I’m probably stuck with the data as they are.
What are the consequences of proceeding with the data as-is? Is the slice timing data really inaccurate? What are the options if someone wanted to slice time correct? This seems to be part of the optimally combining process/tedana pipeline.
Would restoring the data to the scanner and re-exporting work? Or has the header information been lost forever. I really don’t want to have to restore the data.
Any help/suggestions would be most welcome.
Cheers, Jon
