Hi,
I apologize if this question is a bit basic, I am a noob at neuroimaging. A collaborator sent us a dataset that includes a B0 map, acquired using a Phillips 3T scanner, which I would like to use in the pipeline. I know that to use the phase maps in fmriprep I need to include EchoTime1 and EchoTime2, or EchoTimeDifference. Do you know where I can find this parameter from the DICOM header?
Thank you!!!
In case it helps, I’m including the JSON file I get from covering using dcm2bids, and the output from fslhd of one of the images:
