Extracting TotalReadOutTime from Siemens XB DICOM files

Dear dcm2nii Team,


We have recently upgraded our scanner to a Siemens 7T Terra X with the new XB software Platform.


Unfortuantely dcm2nii does not appear to extract information from the DICOM on TotalReadOutTime (and/or Effective Echo Spacing + ReconMatrixPE for it's calculation) for use with FSL Topup.


I was wondering if there was a solution to this or whether this was a known issue?


Any help would be greatly appreciated


Best Wishes,


Dr Stuart O'Connor
