Guidelines on using the specification #78

Closed KirstieJane closed 4 years ago

KirstieJane commented 4 years ago

Similarly to #77, this issue captures really useful text that @agahkarakuzu has written in #59 but that @Gilles86 and I don't think needs to be in the specification itself.

Specifically, this section is on recommended metadata parameters that should be captured for qMRI calculations. That's totally true, but they're listed in the first part of the section on MRI and so we don't need to reiterate it again....unless there are calculations that make these fields REQUIRED rather than RECOMMENDED.

This text would be great to add to the BIDS Starter Kit ✨

JSON Content for grouping suffixes:

There is not an upper limit to the amount of metadata contained by the JSON files of constituent images belonging to a grouped scan collection. However, the following metadata is highly RECOMMENDED to be included to facilitate the provenance recording for the calculation of a qMRI map:

  • All the scanner hardware parameters primarily including:
    • Manufacturer
    • ManufacturersModelName
    • DeviceSerialNumber
    • StationName
    • SoftwareVersions
    • MagneticFieldStrength
    • ReceiveCoilName
    • ReceiveCoilActiveElements
    • GradientSetType
    • MRTransmitCoilSequence
    • MatrixCoilMode
    • CoilCombinationMethod
  • Sequence specific parameters primarily including:
    • PulseSequenceType
    • ScanningSequence
    • SequenceVariant
    • ScanOptions
    • SequenceName
    • PulseSequenceDetails
    • NonlinearGradientCorrection
  • Other timing, RF, contrast, spatial encoding and acceleration related parameters.
