Extract dcm2niix slice timing output into text file
Hi,

I am wondering if there is a way to extract the output from running dcm2niix into a text file, which gives the slice timing for a multiband sequence as shown: 

DICOM file dicoms/dcmS0006A0088I0088:
patient position (0020,0032) -771.012 -788.434 -38.494
orient (0020,0037) 1 0 0 0 1 0
acq 88 img 88 ser 6 dim 768x768x1x1 mm 2x2x2 offset 189296 loc 0 valid 1 ph 0 mag 0 nDTI 0 3d 0 bits 16 littleEndian 1 echo 1 coil 0 TE 30 TR 1000
Patient Position 0020,0032 (#,@,X,Y,Z) 1 8788 -771.012 -788.434 -38.494
SliceNormalVector 0.000000 0.000000 1.000000
sliceTimes 457.5 0 522.5 65 587.5 130 652.5 195 717.5 260 782.5 327.5 850 392.5 915 457.5 0 522.5 65 587.5 130 652.5 195 717.5 260 782.5 327.5 850 392.5 915 457.5 0 522.5 65 587.5 130 652.5 195 717.5 260 782.5 327.5 850 392.5 915 457.5 0 522.5 65 587.5 130 652.5 195 717.5 260 782.5 327.5 850 392.5 915
Multiband x4 sequence: setting slice order as UNKNOWN (instead of 5)

I am able to convert this sequence into a .json file and see the slice times that way, but I am trying to find a way to write into my script to automatically create a text file with the slice times. 

Thanks,
Hannah
