For Siemens VA-VE DICOMs, the slice timing is in the proprietary CSA header

Specifically, you will want to extract the `MosaicRefAcqTimes` tag.


Your data is from ~2004 (VA25). The oldest archival dataset I have is from 2007 (VB12). Therefore, I am not sure if VA25 includes the CSA header

Thanks a lot. The scanning date is 2007 from DICOM field in minc head dicom_0x0008:el_0x0020 = "20070925" ; I will check these resources and hopefully this can be solved.
