Change FLASH for non-proprietary name #5

Open tsalo opened 3 years ago

FLASH is specific to Siemens. GE calls is SPGR, Philips FFE. I would use an acronym that is not vendor-specific, e.g. SGRE (for spoiled gradient echo), or simply GRE (and the information about spoiler could be added in the descriptive fields).

I wonder this could be incorporated in BIDS 1.x instead of waiting for 2.0 since it does not seem to require any backward incompatible changes. The way to do it is to draft a BIDS Extension Proposal similar to one of those: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HFUkAEE-pB-angVcYe6pf_-fVf4sCpOHKesUvfb8Grc/edit#heading=h.18rh5sozhnxy

FLASH is listed as a semi-deprecated ("legacy") suffix in BEP001 (https://github.com/bids-standard/bids-specification/pull/508). If that is merged, I will close this.
