Hi BIDSonauts (or BIDSounours your choice)!
and maybe @agahkarakuzu more specifically
The question is: how should STAGE data should be named in BIDS ?
Data I got have 5 echoes at 2 flip-angles in complex data (mag+phase).
On Siemens, pulse sequence name is “*fl3d5”.
dcm2niix BIDSGuess gives MEGRE
suffix, but MEGRE
spec do not have the flip
entity (though could use chunk-
).
Should it be suffixed as MPM
with mt-off
for all images?
Or none of the above? None of the qMRI current spec?
Thanks for your help!
Cheers!
VFA (variable flip angle) would allow echo
, flip
and part
, with no other required data:
sub-<label>[_ses-<label>][_task-<label>][_acq-<label>][_ce-<label>][_rec-<label>][_run-<index>][_echo-<index>]_flip-<index>[_part-<mag|phase|real|imag>][_chunk-<index>]_VFA.json
sub-<label>[_ses-<label>][_task-<label>][_acq-<label>][_ce-<label>][_rec-<label>][_run-<index>][_echo-<index>]_flip-<index>[_part-<mag|phase|real|imag>][_chunk-<index>]_VFA.nii[.gz]

Maybe, though VFA in the BIDS-specs is SPGR but the dicoms show
(0018,9016) CS [NONE] # 4, 1 Spoiling
However, this tag (which is the SequenceVariant) could indicate SP(oiling).
(0021,105b) CS [SP\OSP] # 6, 2 Unknown Tag & Data
the spec also require SSFP which could maybe be named FISP on Siemens and then in that case PulseSequenceName should contain fi
per Siemens doc?
BTW: these are enhanced dicoms from XA30, which is a whole new world.
I will continue to investigate.
